Book Synopsis The Zadokite Fragments and the Dead Sea Scrolls by : Harold Henry Rowley
Download or read book The Zadokite Fragments and the Dead Sea Scrolls written by Harold Henry Rowley and published by Oxford : B. Blackwell. This book was released on 1952 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a short general account of the Zadokite Work, fragments of which were found half a century ago, and of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were found in 1947, Professor Rowley gives a critical review of all the theories of the date of these texts and of the sect from which they came, and finally offers his own view on these questions. His book gives a more extensive survey of the discussion these texts have provoked than can be found in any other work, and it rests on a fuller control of the vast literature written about them than anything so far published [1952]. [Front cover of dust jacket].

Download or read book Missing Priests written by Alice Hunt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biblical scholars agree that priesthood(s) played a critical role in the social, historical, cultural, and religious lives of the ancient Israelites. This study seeks to clarify the role of one such priesthood, the Zadokites. Traditional scholarship assumes the dominance of a Zadokite priesthood from a united monarchy until the time of the Hasmoneans. The thesis of this study is that references to the "sons of Zadok" in ancient texts reflect the sectarian nature of the Second Temple period. The extent to which modern scholarship has magnified the Zadokites as the dominant priestly institution from the monarchy into the Second Temple period cannot be substantiated. Rather, the Second Temple period serves as the terminus for all literary references to the Zadokites and provides a socio-historical context which allows for the development of a plausible reconstruction explaining their appearance in the ancient texts. This comprehensive study of the Zadokites provides a study of historiography that traces the growth of scholarly notions concerning the Zadokites. The study examines historiographic issues related to the development of these conceptualizations. Literary analysis indicates the role and status of the Zadokites in available textual evidence. A socio-historical reconstruction forms the theoretical basis and attempts to answer such questions such as: Who placed the Zadokites in these texts? Why were the Zadokites included in these texts? The Zadokites will be situated in relation to the Dead Sea Scrolls. The study provides a foundation for studies of priesthood(s) in ancient Israel.
