Book Synopsis The Religious Worldviews Reflected in the Dead Sea Scrolls by : Ruth A. Clements
Download or read book The Religious Worldviews Reflected in the Dead Sea Scrolls written by Ruth A. Clements and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dead Sea Scrolls offer a window onto the rich theological landscape of Judaism in the Second Temple period. Through careful textual analysis, the authors of these twelve studies explore such topics as dualism and determinism, esoteric knowledge, eschatology and covenant, the nature of heaven and / or the divine, moral agency, and more; as well as connections between concepts expressed in the Qumran corpus and in later Jewish and Christian literature. The religious worldviews reflected in the Scrolls constitute part of the ideological environment of Second Temple Judaism; the analysis of these texts is essential for the reconstruction of that milieu. Taken together, these studies indicate the breadth and depth of theological reflection in the Second Temple period.

Book Synopsis Wealth in the Dead Sea Scrolls and in the Qumran Community by : Catherine Murphy
Download or read book Wealth in the Dead Sea Scrolls and in the Qumran Community written by Catherine Murphy and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-12-24 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is concerned with exploring sectarian attitudes toward wealth and the economic practices that gave rise to and issued from those attitudes. An introductory chapter establishes the state of the question. Three subsequent chapters focus on major sectarian texts: the Damascus Document, the Rule of the Community, and 4QInstruction A. Other sectarian and non-sectarian texts that mention wealth are discussed in a fifth chapter, while archaeological evidence from the Qumran region and contemporary documentary texts are introduced in chapters seven and eight. Finally, ancient secondary testimony on Essene economic practices is discussed. The book breaks new ground in arguing for several biblical rationales for the practice of shared wealth. Its integration of archaeological and documentary evidence sheds surprising new light on the economic organization of the Qumran community.
