Description

David Flusser was a very prolific scholar of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and his contributions to Scrolls research, apocalypticism, and apocalyptic literature are inestimable. With this English translation of many of his essays, Flusser?s insights are now available to a wider audience than ever before. / This second volume in Judaism of the Second Temple Period considers why the Book of Daniel was the only apocalyptic work incorporated in the biblical canon. It further addresses the fact that it is the only apocalyptic book composed before the destruction of the Second Temple, yet it nonetheless describes events subsequent to the revelation at Sinai.
