This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Jews from the period of the Second Temple to the rise of Islam. From 'A History of the Mishnaic Law of Appointed Times, Part 1' This volume introduces the sources of Judaism in late antiquity to scholars in adjacent fields, such as the study of the Old and New Testaments, Ancient History, the ancient Near East, and the history of religion. In two volumes, leading American, Israeli, and European specialists in the history, literature, theology, and archaeology of Judaism offer factual answers to the two questions that the study of any religion in ancient times must raise. The first is, what are the sources -- written and in material culture -- that inform us about that religion? The second is, how have we to understand those sources in reconstructing the history of various Judaic systems in antiquity. The chapters set forth in simple statements, intelligible to non-specialists, the facts which the sources provide. Because of the nature of the subject and acute interest in it, the specialists also raise some questions particular to the study of Judaism, dealing with its historical relationship with nascent Christianity in New Testament times. The work forms the starting point for the study of all the principal questions concerning Judaism in late antiquity and sets forth the most current, critical results of scholarship.

Download or read book The Development and Symbolism of Passover written by Tamara Prosic and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-11-28 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tamara Prosic gives a new explanation of the origins, development and symbolism of Passover. First, she examines Passover from the diachronic perspective, tracing its development from the period before the centralisation of the cult until the second destruction of the temple. Issues with previous scholarship are considered, while at the same time she places the study of Passover within the framework of the new paradigm of historical studies of ancient Israel that advocates the indigenous Canaanitic origin of Israelites. The second part of the book is synchronic in its approach to Passover and deals with its symbolism. Prosic discusses Passover in biblical legends arguing that the pre-Yahwistic Passover was essentially a rite of passage. From there the investigation moves to symbolic elements of Passover such as time symbolism, space symbolism and symbolism of the sacrifice. This is volume 414 in the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Supplement series.

Download or read book Embracing the Kingdom s Blueprint Part Two written by Riaan Engelbrecht and published by Riaan Engelbrecht. This book was released on 2023-01-18 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are all called to be active in the Kingdom of God, fulfilling the Great Commission. We are all called to be disciples of God, and we all have a calling and have been empowered with gifts and abilities to establish the Kingdom of God in the hearts of man. Jesus showed us the blueprint of how to be a disciple. We are all, and not a few, called to follow this blueprint in accordance to the Great Commission, within various functions as the royal priesthood. Today we sadly sit with so mostly inactive disciples because of wrong teachings, thus disciples who believe they are not called to minister at all! It is time for all disciples to become true servants worth the salt and light in our corporate effort to proclaim the Good News far and wide so that God may be glorified and the lost saved.
Download or read book Hittite Texts and Greek Religion written by Ian Rutherford and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our knowledge of ancient Greece has been transformed in the last century by an increased understanding of the cultures of the Ancient Near East. This is particularly true of ancient religion. This book looks at the relationship between the religious systems of Ancient Greece and the Hittites, who controlled Turkey in the Late Bronze Age (1400-1200 BC). The cuneiform texts preserved in the Hittite archives provide a particularly rich source for religious practice, detailing festivals, purification rituals, oracle-consultations, prayers, and myths of the Hittite state, as well as documenting the religious practice of neighbouring Anatolian states in which the Hittites took an interest. Hittite religion is thus more comprehensively documented than any other ancient religious tradition in the Near East, even Egypt. The Hittites are also known to have been in contact with Mycenaean Greece, known to them as Ahhiyawa. The book first sets out the evidence and provides a methodological paradigm for using comparative data. It then explores cases where there may have been contact or influence, such as in the case of scapegoat rituals or the Kumarbi-Cycle. Finally, it considers key aspects of religious practices shared by both systems, such as the pantheon, rituals of war, festivals, and animal sacrifice. The aim of such a comparison is to discover clues that may further our understanding of the deep history of religious practices and, when used in conjunction with historical data, illuminate the differences between cultures and reveal what is distinctive about each of them.
