[EAN: 9789004135918], Near Fine, [SC: 32.11], [PU: Brill, Leiden], JEWISH WISDOM TRADITION, DEAD SEA SCROLLS, PEOPLE OF GOD, APOCALYPSE, ETERNAL LIFE, ANGELS, REVELATIONS, DAY JUDGEMENT, THEOPHANIC LIFE, Octavo. x, 276pp. Indices and 16 page bibliography. Text in English with occasional Hebrew. Black cloth lettered in gilt with publisher's device on front cover. An ex-library copy but with minimal markings (rubber stamp on title page & bottom of text block), otherwise fine. This volume is devoted to 4QInstruction, the last lengthy text of the Dead Sea Scrolls to be officially published. It is also the largest wisdom text of this corpus. The central concern of this study is how this composition should be understood in relation to the sapiential and apocalyptic traditions. Features of 4QInstruction that are examined include its appeal to revelation, its presentation of poverty, and its eschatology. The document's relationship to both 1 Enoch and the Dead Sea sect is also discussed. This study will prove useful to anyone interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the reception of the Jewish wisdom tradition in the Second Temple period, and apocalypticism. (Publisher) Contents: I. Common wisdom?: The worldly and heavenly wisdom of 4QInstruction -- II. "Understand your mysteries": The theme of Revelation in 4QInstruction -- III. The "Spiritual people" and the "Fleshly spirit": The instruction of 4Q417i13-18 -- IV. Poverty, financial instruction, and the elect status of the addressee -- V. Theophanic judgement and eternal life: The eschatology of 4QInstruction -- VI. 4QInstruction's transformation of wisdom. (OCLC) Contents addenda: 3.
