The Mythical Language and the Jewish Apocalyptic Literature (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the evolution of Jewish apocalypticism, from its early roots in the Second Temple period through its influence on later religious traditions and modern thought. Jewish apocalyptic literature emerged as a response to the historical crises and political oppression faced by the Jewish people, offering visions of divine intervention, ultimate judgment, and the restoration of divine order. Beginning with the Book of Daniel and 1 Enoch, this study traces the development of key apocalyptic themes, including messianic expectations, resurrection, cosmic conflict, and the role of angels in executing divine justice. The influence of Hellenistic and Roman empires on Jewish apocalypticism is examined, as well as how these themes were reinterpreted in the context of Roman domination, particularly following the destruction of the Second Temple.
