Enoch and Qumran Origins: New Light on a Forgotten Connection Paperback - 2005
by Gabriele Boccaccini
First line
In his elegant book The Sense of an Ending, critic Frank Kermode describes how the human imagination is drawn again and again to moments we call crises in trying to give some order and design to the past, present, and future (Kermode 2000, 94).
From the rear cover
The rediscovery of Enochic Judaism as an ancient movement of dissent within Second Temple Judaism, a movement centered on neither temple nor torah, is a major achievement of contemporary research. After being marginalized, ancient Enoch texts have reemerged as a significant component of the Dead Sea Scrolls library unearthed at Qumran.
"Enoch and Qumran Origins is the first comprehensive treatment of the complex and forgotten relations between the Qumran community and the Jewish group behind the pseudepigraphal literature of Enoch. The contributors demonstrate that the roots of the Qumran community are to be found in the tradition of the Enoch group rather than that of the Jerusalem priesthood.
Framed by Gabriele Boccaccini's introduction and James Charlesworth's conclusion, this book examines the hypotheses of five particularly eminent scholars, resulting in an engaging and substantive discussion among forty-seven specialists from nine countries. The exceptional array of essays from leading international scholars in Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins makes "Enoch and Qumran Origins" a sine qua non for serious students of this period.Contributors: William Adler
