Download or read book A History of the Jews and Judaism in the Second Temple Period Volume 2 written by Lester L. Grabbe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume of the projected four-volume history of the Second Temple period. It is axiomatic that there are large gaps in the history of the Persian period, but the early Greek period is possibly even less known. This volume brings together all we know about the Jews during the period from Alexander's conquest to the eve of the Maccabaean revolt, including the Jews in Egypt as well as the situation in Judah. Based directly on the primary sources, which are surveyed, the study addresses questions such as administration, society, religion, economy, jurisprudence, Hellenism and Jewish identity. These are discussed in the context of the wider Hellenistic world and its history. A strength of the study is its extensive up-to-date secondary bibliography (approximately one thousand items).

Download or read book Apokalyptik und gypten written by Bernd Ulrich Schipper and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im vorliegenden Sammelband werden Neuubersetzungen und zum Teil Erstpublikationen von Quellen vorgelegt, die im Kontext religionsgeschichtlich-theologischer Apokalyptikforschung von Bedeutung sind: die Demotische Chronik (Heinz Felber), das Lamm des Bokchoris (Heinz Josef Thissen), das Topferorakel (Ludwig Koenen), der Traum des Nektanebos (Jorg-Dieter Gauger und Kim Ryholt), eine Passage aus den Ostraka des Hor und ein bislang unpublizierter Text aus dem Tebtynis-Tempelarchiv (Joachim Friedrich Quack). Dabei zeigte sich, dass die Texte nicht - wie oft postuliert - auf direktem Wege mit der antik-judischen Apokalyptik verbunden werden konnen, sondern vielmehr auf indirektem, indem sie eine Transformation kulturimmanenter Hoffnungsvorstellungen belegen, die durch die zeit-, geistes- und religionsgeschichtliche Situation im 3. und 2. Jh. v. Chr. ausgelost wurde (u.a. Frage des geistigen Widerstandes).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exhibition "Assyria to Iberia at the Dawn of the Classical Age" (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2014) offered a comprehensive overview of art and cultural exchange in an era of vast imperial and mercantile expansion. The twenty-seven essays in this volume are based on the symposium and lectures that took place in conjunction with the exhibition. Written by an international group of scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, they include reports of new archaeological discoveries, illuminating interpretations of material culture, and innovative investigations of literary, historical, and political aspects of the interactions that shaped art and culture in the in the early first millennium B.C. Taken together, these essays explore the cultural encounters of diverse populations interacting through trade, travel, and migration, as well as war and displacement, in the ancient world. Assyria to Iberia: Art and Culture in the Iron Age contributes significantly to our understanding of the epoch-making exchanges that spanned the Near East and the Mediterranean and exerted immense influence in the centuries that followed.

Download or read book The Greatest Mirror written by Andrei A. Orlov and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of a heavenly double—an angelic twin of an earthbound human—can be found in Christian, Manichaean, Islamic, and Kabbalistic traditions. Scholars have long traced the lineage of these ideas to Greco-Roman and Iranian sources. In The Greatest Mirror, Andrei A. Orlov shows that heavenly twin imagery drew in large part from early Jewish writings. The Jewish pseudepigrapha—books from the Second Temple period that were attributed to biblical figures but excluded from the Hebrew Bible—contain accounts of heavenly twins in the form of spirits, images, faces, children, mirrors, and angels of the Presence. Orlov provides a comprehensive analysis of these traditions in their full historical and interpretive complexity. He focuses on heavenly alter egos of Enoch, Moses, Jacob, Joseph, and Aseneth in often neglected books, including Animal Apocalypse, Book of the Watchers, 2 Enoch, Ladder of Jacob, and Joseph and Aseneth, some of which are preserved solely in the Slavonic language.
