Barbara L. Thaw Ronson has not chosen to view the Bible as an historical document,...

Eschatology, Messianism, and the Dead Sea Scrolls
ISBN: 9780802842305 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The New Testament is of prime importance for understanding early Jewish and Christian messianism and eschatology.

Early Jewish and Christian messianism and eschatology, after all, did not emerge in a vacuum; they developed out of early Jewish hopes that had their roots in the Old Testament. A knowledge of early Jewish literature, and especially of the Dead Sea Scrolls from Qumran, is essential for understanding the shape of these ideas at the turn of the era. In this book, the inaugural...
