About The Book

Judaism and Christianity both arose in times of empire with roots in Persian Hellenistic and Roman periods. In order to understand these religious movements we must first understand the history and society of these imperial cultures. In these formative years wisdom and apocalyptic traditions flourished as two significant religious forms. In Scribes Visionaries and the Politics of Second Temple Judea distinguished New Testament scholar Richard A. Horsley analyzes the function and meaning of these religious movements within their social context providing essential background for the development of early Judaism and early Christianity. It is an ideal textbook for classes on the rise of Judaism or the Second Temple period as well as the Dead Sea Scrolls and Apocrypha.
