L'Apocalypse Des Animaux (1 Hen 85-90): Une Propagande Militaire?: Approches Narrative, Historico-Critique, Perspectives Théologiques
ISBN: 9789004162679 / Francuski / Twarda / 355 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For the majority of scholars, the Animal Apocalypse is a militant text, a piece of pro-Maccabean propaganda. This text, however, develops theological reflections that are distinctly different from a justification of an armed struggle. Its themes are even incompatible with the Maccabean movement. It is impossible to condemn the Second Temple and, at the same time, mobilise people for a fight in order to purify that very Temple. After dealing with text-critical issues, this work challenges the thesis that the text is military propaganda through the use of narrative and historical...
