Book Synopsis The Five Fragments of the Apocryphon of Ezekiel by : James R. Mueller
Download or read book The Five Fragments of the Apocryphon of Ezekiel written by James R. Mueller and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1994 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first full presentation of the 'Apocryphon of Ezekiel', the name given to five fragmentary apocryphal texts attributed to the prophet Ezekiel, and preserved only in quotations by early Christian writers and one of the Chester Beatty papyri. After a brief introduction to the apocryphon and many other Ezekiel traditions of early Judaism, including the partially published Second Ezekiel material from Qumran, the history of research on the Apocryphon as a whole and on each of the fragments is detailed. The body of the book consists of the presentation of each of the witnesses to the five fragments, along with a discussion of the transmission history of each saying. The final chapter makes the case for the existence of a Jewish Apocryphon of Ezekiel which was composed in either Greek or Hebrew around the turn of the era, and which was known, and quoted, by several early Christian writers. This monograph thus provides scholars of Early Judaism and Early Christianity with another important witness for the reconstruction of the wide variety of Early Jewish thought, and for understanding the continuing influence and appropriation of Jewish apocryphal traditions in the Early Christian world.

This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 1100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Festschrift contains forty-one original essays and six tribute papers in honour of Michael E. Stone, Gail Levin de Nur Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies and Professor Emeritus of Armenian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The volume’s main theme is Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, envisioned in its broadest sense: apocryphal texts, traditions, and themes from the Second-Temple period to the High Middle Ages, in Judaism, Christianity and, to a lesser extent, Islam. Most essays present new or understudied texts based on fresh manuscript evidence; the others are thematic in approach. The volume’s scope and focus reflect those of Professor Stone’s scholarship, without a special emphasis on Armenian studies.

Book Synopsis The Book of Ezekiel and its Influence by : Johannes Tromp
Download or read book The Book of Ezekiel and its Influence written by Johannes Tromp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel (6th century B.C.E.) is a book of forceful language and impressive images. Its message is often clear, sometimes mysterious. The book had great impact in Jewish and early Christian literature as well as in western art. This book deals with the intentions of the book of Ezekiel, but also focuses on its use by subsequent writers, editors or artists. It traces Ezekiel's influence in Jesus' teaching about the Kingdom of God, in Paul, the Gospels, and Revelation, and also shows that Ezekiel's imagery, via Jewish mysticism, influenced the visionary art of William Blake. Presenting contributions from leading biblical scholars in Oxford and Leiden, based on their unique collaborative research, this book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars working in the field of biblical studies, including those studying the Hebrew Bible, its early versions, 'inter-testamental' Judaism, New Testament and Early Christianity, and the reception of Biblical literature in later centuries.

Book Synopsis The Meshalim in the Mekhiltot by : Lieve M. Teugels
Download or read book The Meshalim in the Mekhiltot written by Lieve M. Teugels and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of rabbinic parables (meshalim) in the two Mekhiltot, the tannaitic Midrashim to the book of Exodus (3rd century CE), has a double scholarly purpose. It offers a critical synoptic presentation and study of the textual witnesses of the parables, and a commentary on their meaning and function in their literary and historical context. Moreover, a new English translation of every parable will make the edition a useful tool for interested readers with less knowledge of Hebrew, or those merely looking for a quick reference. This edition, which intends to be the first in a series of editions of parables in all the tannaitic works, is an indispensable tool not only for scholars of Jewish texts, but also for students of the New Testament and early Christian literature, historians of religion in late Antiquity, and those interested in similar literary genres, such as fables.
Book Synopsis Repentance at Qumran by : Mark A. Jason
Download or read book Repentance at Qumran written by Mark A. Jason and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark A. Jason offers a detailed investigation of the place of repentance in the Dead Sea Scrolls, addressing a significant lacuna in Qumran scholarship. Normally, when the belief system of the community is examined, “repentance” is usually taken for granted or relegated to a peripheral position. By careful attention to key texts, Jason establishes the importance of repentance as a fundamental way of structuring and describing religious experience within the Qumran community. Repentance was important not only for entry into the community and covenant but also for daily governance and cultic activities, and even for authenticating understanding of the end times. Jason shows, then, that repentance was a central and decisive element in shaping that community’s identity and undergirded its religous experience from the start. Further, comparison with relevant texts from the Apocrypha and pseudepigrapha shows that the Qumran community represented a distinctive penitential movement in Second Temple Judaism.
Book Synopsis The Eerdmans Dictionary of Early Judaism by : John J. Collins
Download or read book The Eerdmans Dictionary of Early Judaism written by John J. Collins and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 2790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Early Judaism is the first reference work devoted exclusively to Second Temple Judaism (fourth century b.c.e. through second century c.e.). The first section of this substantive and incredible work contains thirteen major essays that attempt to synthesize major aspects of Judaism in the period between Alexander and Hadrian. The second — and significantly longer — section offers 520 entries arranged alphabetically. Many of these entries have cross-references and all have select bibliographies. Equal attention is given to literary and nonliterary (i.e. archaeological and epigraphic) evidence and New Testament writings are included as evidence for Judaism in the first century c.e. Several entries also give pertinent information on the Hebrew Bible. The Dictionary of Early Judaism is intended to not only meet the needs of scholars and students — at which it succeeds admirably — but also to provide accessible information for the general reader. It is ecumenical and international in character, bringing together nearly 270 authors from as many as twenty countries and including Jews, Christians, and scholars of no religious affiliation.
Book Synopsis Images of Torah: From the Second-Temple Period to the Middle Ages by : Jeong Mun. Heo
Download or read book Images of Torah: From the Second-Temple Period to the Middle Ages written by Jeong Mun. Heo and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-06-26 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the way that the Torah was appreciated and interpreted as a text and symbol in Christian and Jewish sources from the Second Temple period through the Middle Ages. It tracks the development and complex interactions of three images of Torah— “God-like,” “Angelic,” and “Messianic”— which are found in late-antique Jewish and Christian materials as well as in medieval kabbalistic and Jewish philosophic sources. It provides a unique template for tracing the development of theological ideas related to the images of Torah and offers a sophisticated and innovative analysis of the relationship between mystical experience, theology, and phenomenology.

This book was released on 2018-12-24 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Orion Center Bibliography of the Dead Sea Scrolls (1995-2000) is the fourth official Scrolls bibliography, following bibliographies covering the periods 1948-1957 (W. S. LaSor), 1958-1969 (B. Jongeling), and 1970-1995 (F. García Martínez and D. W. Parry). The current interest in the Scrolls, with at least two journals dedicated to these texts, has led to a proliferation of secondary literature, theses, and electronic publications. The Orion Center Bibliography contains over 3000 entries, including approximately 600 reviews, gathered from the École Biblique et Archéologique Française in Jerusalem, from on-line databases, and from the authors themselves. This work is based on the bibliography compiled by the Orion Center for the Study of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jerusalem, and includes reviews, journal articles, and electronic publications, a text index and a subject index.
Book Synopsis Epiphanius of Cyprus by : Andrew S. Jacobs
Download or read book Epiphanius of Cyprus written by Andrew S. Jacobs and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epiphanius, Bishop of Constantia on Cyprus from 367 to 403 C.E., was incredibly influential in the last decades of the fourth century. Whereas his major surviving text (the Panarion, an encyclopedia of heresies) is studied for lost sources, Epiphanius himself is often dismissed as an anti-intellectual eccentric, a marginal figure of late antiquity. In this book, Andrew Jacobs moves Epiphanius from the margin back toward the center and proposes we view major cultural themes of late antiquity in a new light altogether. Through an examination of the key cultural concepts of celebrity, conversion, discipline, scripture, and salvation, Jacobs shifts our understanding of "late antiquity" from a transformational period open to new ideas and peoples toward a Christian Empire that posited a troubling, but ever-present, "otherness" at the center of its cultural production.

Book Synopsis Paul and the Hermeneutics of Faith by : Francis Watson
Download or read book Paul and the Hermeneutics of Faith written by Francis Watson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, scholars from both Christian and Jewish backgrounds have tried to rethink the relationship between earliest Christianity and its Jewish milieu; and Paul has emerged as a central figure in this debate. Francis Watson contributes to this scholarly discussion by seeing Paul and his Jewish contemporaries as, above all, readers of scripture. However different the conclusions they draw, they all endeavour to make sense of the same normative scriptural texts - in the belief that, as they interpret the scriptural texts, the texts will themselves interpret and illuminate the world of contemporary experience. In that sense, Paul and his contemporaries are standing on common ground. Far from relativizing their differences, however, it is this common ground that makes such differences possible. In this new edition Watson provides a comprehensive new introduction entitled 'A Response to My Critics' in which he directly engages with the critics of the previous edition. There is a substantial new Preface and two new Appendices, and the text has been fully revised throughout.
Book Synopsis Golden Bells and Pomegranates by : Burton L. Visotzky
Download or read book Golden Bells and Pomegranates written by Burton L. Visotzky and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2003 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burton L. Visotzky surveys the scholarly literature on Midrash Leviticus Rabbah, a 5th century rabbinic anthology. He presents the findings of his own research that Leviticus Rabbah is a quasi-encyclopedic miscellany of rabbinic thought and commentaries on Torah and its study. He outlines the content of Leviticus Rabbah, its novel elements of style, structure, and redaction. The results of this analysis place the text at a turning point in rabbinic literature. The author undertakes to survey and synthesize the broad areas necessary to understand Leviticus Rabbah, while at the same time offering detailed studies of both structure and content.Its attitudes - and so, rabbinic attitudes - on topics like theology, angelology, anthropology, women, the poor, and the Other are also commented on.
