Download or read book The Flourishing of Jewish Sects in the Maccabean Era An Interpretation written by Albert I. Baumgartner and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume asks why Jewish groups - Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes and the Dead Sea Scroll sect - flourished during the Maccabean era. It argues that such a result is uncommon, requiring special explanation. In the introduction, sectarianism is defined and its varieties in Second Temple Judaism assessed. Among the causes of the known results suggested are the encounter with an outside culture that seemed to be weakening the external national perimeter, the impact of expanded literacy, the move to the city from the farm, as well as eschatological hope aroused by Maccabean victory. In proposing these conclusions, full advantage is taken of recently published Qumran sources, such as 4QMMT. The objective is to discover the connection between context and consequence, which will explain why sectarianism was so prominent at that time.

Download or read book Sectarianism in Early Judaism written by David J. Chalcraft and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Sectarianism in Early Judaism' applies recent developments in sociological analysis to sect formation and development in early Judaism. The essays examine sectarianism in a wide range of different forms: the many layers of redaction in religious texts; the development arcs of sectarian groups; the role of sectarianism across Jewish history as well as in the time of the Second Temple; and the relations within and between sects and between sects and wider society. The book aims to establish a conceptual framework for the analysis of sects and, in doing so, makes particular use of the work of Max Weber and Bryan Wilson, exploring the limits of their typologies and sociological theories.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ya'qub al-Qirqisani, «the greatest Karaite mind of the first half of the tenth century» (Leon Nemoy), opens his opus magnum, the Kitab al-anwar wal-maraqib (The Book of Lights and Watchtowers), with a survey of Jewish sects and Christianity which represents the most reliable (and sometimes the unique) source of our knowledge of the developments of Jewish religious history from ancient times to the author's own day. After an evaluation of Qirqisani's work as an historiographic source, this book presents an English translation of the masterly introduction premised by Harkavy to the editio princeps of Qirqisani's text (this essay, written in Russian, has remained inaccessible to most scholars) together with a complete English translation of Kitab al-anwar, Book I.

The richness and freshness of Professor Stone's understanding of Judaism in the Hellenistic Age stems not only from his mastery of new lore; it arises also from a broad and objective humanistic mind prepared to relinquish cherished but antiquated views and bold to make new constructions. --Frank Moore Cross, Jr. Hancock Professor of Oriental Languages Harvard University This work integrates the important finds of the past thirty years into a fresh picture of Second Temple (Intertestamental) Judaism--its varieties, its contacts with Gnosticism and Hellenism, the ancient roots of its apocalyptic--whose dynamic complexity was never before imagined; a book widely learned yet readily accessible to the common reader. --Moshe Greenberg Professor of Bible Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Michael Stone's Scriptures, Sects and Visions is not only an achievement in compactness, but a welcome elucidation of new discoveries and reinterpretations essential to the understanding of postbiblical Judaism and the beginnings of Christianity. --Judah Goldin Professor of Oriental Studies University of Pennsylvania
