A Gate to Heaven: Essenes, Qumran: Origins and Heirs: Jewish and Christian Texts

Autor Father Etienne Nodet
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2024
Etienne Nodet proposes that Qumran functioned as a pilgrimage site for the Essenes from the 1st century BC onwards. Nodet suggests that the Essenes were scattered everywhere within Palestine in rural communities and that they used to commemorate a renewal of the early Israelites' entrance into the Promised Land, after crossing the Jordan river and celebrating Passover at Gilgal with Joshua, Moses' heir. The Essene dead were moved to be buried at Qumran in a well-organized graveyard, as the place was deemed to be a kind of gate to heaven.

Nodet shows how the Jewish movement of the Essenes did not did not disappear after the war in 70 CE, rather its customs had a strong influence upon early Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. The chapters of this book examine the Essenes in the period after the war in Jerusalem, showing how this community developed and its longer term significance. This is linked to the texts of the New Testament, to the writings of Josephus and to the Qumran community's own documents, the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Recenzii

[The] volume is creative and boundary-pushing. As the preface to the book notes, Nodet sought to take the road less traveled and not follow the crowd. While some of his scholarship is 'intermittently controversial' (xi), Nodet's work remains unique and probing.
