Requests:  0 Summary:  "Author Simon J. Joseph's careful examination of a number of distinctive passages in the Jesus tradition in light of Qumran-Essene texts focuses on major points of contact between the Qumran-Essene community and early Christianity in four areas of belief and practice: covenant identity, messianism, eschatology, and halakhah (legal interpretation), placing the weight of his argument for continuity and discontinuity on the halakhic topics of divorce, Sabbath, sacrifice, celibacy, and violence. Joseph focuses on the historical, cultural, chronological, and theological correspondences as convergence. This not only illuminates the historical Jesus' teachings as distinctive, developing and extending earlier Jewish ethical and halakhic thought, it also clarifies the emergence of early Christianity in relationship to Palestinian Essenism. By bringing this holistic analysis of the evidence to bear, Joseph adds a powerful and insightful voice to the decades-long debate surrounding the Essenes and Christianity."--Dust jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 296.814 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 296.814 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 296.814 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
