  • Religious Studies 300 Second Temple Judaism Fall Term 2020
    Religious Studies 300 Second Temple Judaism Fall Term 2020 (3 credits; MW 10:05-11:25; Oegema; Zoom & Recorded) Instructor: Prof. Dr. Gerbern S. Oegema Faculty of Religious Studies McGill University 3520 University Street Office hours: by appointment Tel. 398-4126 Fax 398-6665 Email: [email protected] Prerequisite: This course presupposes some basic knowledge typically but not exclusively acquired in any of the introductory courses in Hebrew Bible (The Religion of Ancient Israel; Literature of Ancient Israel 1 or 2; The Bible and Western Culture), New Testament (Jesus of Nazareth, New Testament Studies 1 or 2) or Rabbinic Judaism. Contents: The course is meant for undergraduates, who want to learn more about the history of Ancient Judaism, which roughly dates from 300 BCE to 200 CE. In this period, which is characterized by a growing Greek and Roman influence on the Jewish culture in Palestine and in the Diaspora, the canon of the Hebrew Bible came to a close, the Biblical books were translated into Greek, the Jewish people lost their national independence, and, most important, two new religions came into being: Early Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. In the course, which is divided into three modules of each four weeks, we will learn more about the main historical events and the political parties (Hasmonaeans, Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes, etc.), the religious and philosophical concepts of the period (Torah, Ethics, Freedom, Political Ideals, Messianic Kingdom, Afterlife, etc.), and the various Torah interpretations of the time. A basic knowledge of this period is therefore essential for a deeper understanding of the formation of the two new religions, Early Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism, and for a better understanding of the growing importance, history and Biblical interpretation have had for Ancient Judaism.

  • The Qumran Collection As a Scribal Library Sidnie White Crawford
    University of Nebraska - Lincoln DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln Sidnie White Crawford Publications Classics and Religious Studies 2016 The Qumran Collection as a Scribal Library Sidnie White Crawford Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/crawfordpubs This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Classics and Religious Studies at DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. It has been accepted for inclusion in Sidnie White Crawford Publications by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. The Qumran Collection as a Scribal Library Sidnie White Crawford Since the early days of Dead Sea Scrolls scholarship, the collection of scrolls found in the eleven caves in the vicinity of Qumran has been identified as a library.1 That term, however, was undefined in relation to its ancient context. In the Greco-Roman world the word “library” calls to mind the great libraries of the Hellenistic world, such as those at Alexandria and Pergamum.2 However, a more useful comparison can be drawn with the libraries unearthed in the ancient Near East, primarily in Mesopotamia but also in Egypt.3 These librar- ies, whether attached to temples or royal palaces or privately owned, were shaped by the scribal elite of their societies. Ancient Near Eastern scribes were the literati in a largely illiterate society, and were responsible for collecting, preserving, and transmitting to future generations the cultural heritage of their peoples. In the Qumran corpus, I will argue, we see these same interests of collection, preservation, and transmission. Thus I will demonstrate that, on the basis of these comparisons, the Qumran collection is best described as a library with an archival component, shaped by the interests of the elite scholar scribes who were responsible for it.

  • Qumran: Founded for Scripture
    SPECIAL LECTURE Qumran: Founded for Scripture. The Background and Significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls HARTMUT STEGEMANN Georg-August-Universita¨tGo¨ttingen ONCEUPONATIME there was a beautiful young princess who—together with all her staff and all the animals within her palace—fell asleep for a long period of time. An angry fairy had put a curse on her to cause her to die by pricking her finger with a spindle. But afterwards, another more gracious fairy had turned her fate into a long sleep until one day a bold prince should enter her chamber and wake her. Meanwhile, her castle became surrounded by a great number of trees, interlaced with brambles and thorns, a hedge so thick that neither man nor beast could penetrate it. There are several possible ways to identify the leading figure of this fairy tale with Qumran topics. There are three suitable candidates for an identifica- tion with Sleeping Beauty, namely the scrolls hidden in the caves, the often neglected reports by some ancient writers on the Essenes, and the ruins of Chirbet Qumran, lonely for almost a hundred generations. Each of these possible identifications also includes a well-known rescuing prince, even if none of those first heroes succeeded in becoming the decisive saviour of Sleeping Beauty. Meanwhile, half a century of research since the discovery of the first Qumran scrolls has produced more than ten thousand manuscript editions, scholarly books, and learned articles on this subject. Nevertheless, many of the basic riddles of these unexpected findings are still unresolved. Some helpful suggestions in earlier stages of Qumran research are again over- whelmed by new thorns, and the younger generation of Qumran scholars seems to be occupied much more with mistaken results of earlier research than with Proceedings of the British Academy, 97, 1–14.

ANGULO A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Religion May 2014 Winston Salem, North Carolina Approved By: Kenneth G. Hoglund, Ph.D., Advisor Jarrod Whitaker, Ph.D., Chair Clinton J. Moyer, Ph.D. Acknowledgments It would not be possible to adequately present the breadth of my gratitude in the scope of this short acknowledgment section. That being said, I would like to extend a few thanks to some of those who have most influenced my academic and personal progression during my time in academia. To begin, I would be remiss not to mention the many excellent professors and specifically Dr. Erik Larson at Florida International University. The Religious Studies department at my undergraduate university nurtured my nascent fascination with religion and the Dead Sea Scrolls and launched me into the career I am now seeking to pursue. Furthermore, a thank you goes out to my readers Dr. Jarrod Whitaker and Dr. Clinton Moyer. You have both presented me with wonderful opportunities during my time at Wake Forest University that have helped to develop me into the student and speaker I am today. Your guidance and review of this thesis have proven essential for me to produce my very best work. Also, a very special thank you must go out to my advisor, professor, and friend, Dr. Ken Hoglund.

  • Love Conquers All: Song of Songs 8:6B–7A As a Reflex of the Northwest Semitic Combat Myth
    JBL 134, no. 2 (2015): 333–345 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15699/jbl.1342.2015.2810 Love Conquers All: Song of Songs 8:6b–7a as a Reflex of the Northwest Semitic Combat Myth aren m. wilson-wright [email protected] Waggener 14a, 2210 Speedway C3400, Austin, TX 78712 Scholars have often noted YHWH’s apparent absence from the Song of Songs. At best, he appears under the name Yah in the difficult and morphologically frozen to suggest that שלהבתיה in Song 8:6. In this article, I go beyond שלהבתיה term love plays the role of YHWH in the Song. Using Calvert Watkins’s work on inher- ited formulae, I argue that Song 8:6b–7a draws on the Northwest Semitic combat myth to identify love with YHWH, the victorious divine warrior. As part of this argument, I identify three inherited formulae in the Hebrew Bible, the Baal Cycle, and later Christian and Jewish literature: “Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, the twisting serpent,” “rebuke Sea,” and “strong as Death.” Within the Song, the phrase “strong as Death” connects this passage with the Baal Cycle, while the evoke scenes of mythic combat from the rest נהרות and מים רבים references to of the Hebrew Bible. This interpretation, I argue, also has mythic resonances in the adjuration refrain in Song 2:7, 3:5, and 8:4 and the phrase “sick with love” in Song 2:5 and 5:8. כי־עזה כמות אהבה קשה כשאול קנאה רשפיה רשפי אש שלהבתיה מים רבים לא יוכלו לכבות את־האהבה For love is as strong as Death, jealousy harsh as Sheol.

This was from the start a response to his strong sense of vocation to the Anglican ministry, fulfilled by ordina- tion some five years later.
