    Chapter 20 4Q521 and What It Might Mean for Q 3–7 Gaye Strathearn am personally grateful for S. Kent Brown. He was a commit- I tee member for my master’s thesis, in which I examined 4Q521. Since that time he has been a wonderful colleague who has always encouraged me in my academic pursuits. The relationship between the Dead Sea Scrolls and Christian- ity has fueled the imagination of both scholar and layperson since their discovery in 1947. Were the early Christians aware of the com- munity at Qumran and their texts? Did these groups interact in any way? Was the Qumran community the source for nascent Chris- tianity, as some popular and scholarly sources have intimated,¹ or was it simply a parallel community? One Qumran fragment that 1. For an example from the popular press, see Richard N. Ostling, “Is Jesus in the Dead Sea Scrolls?” Time Magazine, 21 September 1992, 56–57.

    JBTM The Bible and Theology 14 JESUS’ TEACHING AND PHARISAICAL JUDAISM Steven L. Cox, Ph.D. Dr. Cox is Research Professor of New Testament and Greek at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary Memphis, Tennessee ew Testament (henceforth NT) scholars often acknowledge Jesus’ identity or closeness in theology Nto Pharisaical Judaism; however, such statements are generalized without any discussion of their mutual theological positions. Yet, Jesus and the Pharisees were constantly at odds with one another. In the first section of this article I will review a variety of sources, both primary and secondary, concerning Jesus, the Pharisees, and first-century Judaism. Sources naturally will include the Old Testament (henceforth OT), the NT, Josephus, and the Mishnah, though these sources are not exhaustive concerning the topic. In the second section I will discuss beliefs and practices that were common to all Jews. Theological issues such as monotheism, nationalism, the law, and other topics will be discussed. In the third section I will discuss Jesus and Pharisaical Judaism’s kinship by comparing their similarities and how they differ from other first-century Jewish sects. Theological issues such as the afterlife, resurrection, place of worship, the OT canon, and other topics also will be discussed. In the fourth section I will compare and contrast Jesus’ teachings with those of Pharisaical Judaism.

    Agents of Resurrection in 4Q521, the Sayings Source Q and 4Qpseudo-Ezekiel*

    Agents of Resurrection in 4Q521, the Sayings Source Q and 4QPseudo-Ezekiel* Benjamin Wold, Trinity College Dublin For presentation at Durham University’s Seminar for the Study of Judaism in Late Antiquity (Nov. 11, 2010) Since its publication in 1992, 4Q521 (“Messianic Apocalypse”) has become one of the most discussed discoveries from Qumran.1 The reasons for this are not difficult to understand when fragment 2 column ii is read alongside Matthew 11,1-6 and Luke 7,18-23 (from the sayings source Q). The Hebrew fragment 4Q521 2 ii preserves a reference to a messiah (ln. 1) and shortly thereafter refers to Isaiah 61,1-2 with only one significant addition: the dead are raised (ln. 12). The document 4Q521 is preserved in sixteen fragments and several other references to messiah(s) and resurrection are found among them. The largest fragment is 4Q521 2 ii and reads: Column ii [](1) [](2) vacat (3) (4) (5) (6) [(7) [](8) ][][](9) ][ ](10) []<>(11) [](12) [][][ ](13) * I would like to thank the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung for helping make this research possible. 1 É. PUECH, Une Apocalypse Messianique (4Q521), RevQ 15 (1992) 475-519. There is no clear reason that 4Q521 should be seen as originating with the Qumran community, but rather stems from a broader Palestinian Jewish tradition. See R. BERGMEIER, Beobachtungen zu 4Q521 f 2, II, 1-13, ZDMG 145 (1995) 44-45. Pace PUECH, a late second cent.

  • The Dead Sea Scrolls

    The Dead Sea Scrolls

    A VISIT TO SOME DEAD SEA SCROLLS. November 2007 As remembered by Bill Huntley and Lillian Larsen On this morning after the encounter with some of the Dead Sea Scrolls in San Diego's Museum of Natural History, I find myself inspired by the memorable encounter with the ancient writings and those who hid them for almost two thousand years in the caves near Qumran, the keen questions and insights of a hundred Redlands students, alums, and their friends,; and the organizing skills of Ms. Coco Haupt who brought us all together for a day of inquiry. I must confess to some anxiety at the prospect of trying to answer questions from a hundred different perspectives when I was not sure which scrolls would be on display, my first move was to invite my new colleague in Religious Studies at the U. of R.; Dr, Lillian Larsen, who teaches Christian Scriptures as well as World Religions. She brings a background in Greek and Coptic languages to the Scrolls, more recent than my study 40 years ago in a class in which we were assigned small fragments of the Hodayot (Psalm Scroll). Driving down for this opportunity, as I went over the hill South of Temecula and saw first hand the extent of the fires on both sides of the 15 Freeway, it framed what I might say today. What I saw on the 15 Freeway gave a sense of the destruction that happened just last week, [and 2000 years ago at] Qumran. Those who wrote the Scrolls met just such a fate, by the human agency of the Romans.

Hassler, Katherine A. Streckert and Boyd V. Seevers Abstract At Khirbet el-Maqatir in the northern Judean highlands, archaeologists discovered a monumental fortification tower and military equipment from the Late Hellenistic and Early Roman periods. The tower’s megaliths, thick walls and massive base made it one of the largest towers in Israel during the late Second Temple period. The military equipment at the village emerged gradually throughout the archaeological project, and included hobnails, slingstones and ballista balls, a sling pellet, arrowheads, a javelin head, metal blades, and equestrian fittings. All these elements fit within their historical and cultural milieu, and reinforce the excavators’ conclusion that the settlement was founded in the second century BCE, demolished by the Romans in 69 CE during the First Jewish Revolt, temporarily occupied by Roman soldiers soon thereafter, and then resided in by a small Jewish population that reused the hiding complex during the Second Jewish Revolt (132–135 CE), before being abandoned until the Late Roman and Byzantine periods.

The Eschatology of the Dead Sea Scrolls J. Randall Price, Ph.D. Center for Judaic Studies Liberty University [email protected] Recent unrest in the Middle East regularly stimulates discussion on the eschatological interpretation of events within the biblical context. In light of this interest it is relevant to consider the oldest eschatological interpretation of biblical texts that had their origin in the Middle East – the Dead Sea Scrolls. This collection of some 1,000 and more documents that were recovered from caves along the northwestern shores of the Dead Sea in Israel, has become for scholars of both the Old and New Testaments a window into Jewish interpretation in the Late Second Temple period, a time known for intense messianic expectation. The sectarian documents (non-biblical texts authored by the Qumran Sect or collected by the Jewish Community) among these documents are eschatological in nature and afford the earliest and most complete perspective into the thinking of at least one Jewish group at the time of Jesus’ birth and the formation of the early church.
