ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha

Okay kiddo, I will try my best to explain this to you. A journal is like a book that people write in. But this journal is special because it's all about studying something called pseudepigrapha.

Pseudepigrapha means "falsely attributed works" and it usually refers to ancient religious texts that were written anonymously or under a false name.

So this journal is full of articles and papers written by smart grown-ups who are experts on pseudepigrapha. They study these texts very carefully to try to understand who really wrote them and why. They also look at how these texts were used in the past and what they can teach us about history, religion, and culture.

So if you want to learn more about pseudepigrapha, this journal is like a really good teacher who can explain everything to you in detail. But you might need some help reading it if you're only five years old!
