This indispensable book provides a thoroughgoing commentary on the Pesharim, the early Jewish commentaries on the Hebrew Bible. NO OF PAGES: 171 SUB CAT I: Commentary SUB CAT II: Dead Sea Scrolls SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: In years past scholars created academic chaos by arguing over the proper way to obtain historical information from the Pesharim. For the first two decades of Qumran studies, scholars tended to mine the Pesharim for their historical data without regard to the fact that they were biblical commentaries. This was followed by a backlash in which scholars warned against using the Pesharim for historical information at all. In more recent years a middle course has been found, a roadmap through the Pesharim. And this roadmap now has become the consensus of scholars. Following are some of the conclusions of the consensus. The Righteous Teacher did not found the Qumran sect but became an influential leader. He lived during the second century BCE and died by 103 BCE. He did not write the Pesharim himself, but taught "fulfillment hermeneutics" to his disciples. Even so, some of his own writing may be found in the Thanksgiving Hymns. The Qumranites saw themselves as living in biblical history made sacred by earlier acts of God. They saw the Teacher as the one who would enact the final drama of salvation. However the Teacher was not known as a messiah. Charlesworth's monograph is informative and concise but fair. For example, Robert Eisenman's proposal that the Righteous Teacher is James the Just is listed along with over a dozen others. Each proposal is footnoted for the reader who wants to know more.NOTES: Purchased from Amazon.com. SUBTITLE: Chaos or Consensus? sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The pesharim were a series of early Jewish commentaries on the Hebrew Bible composed at Qumran between 100 and 40 BC. As this study reveals, they are a truly complex and intriguing source for the early Qumran community and its beliefs. Charlesworth's study revolves around the central issue of whether any reliable historical information can be obtained from the pesharim and, if so, what it reveals. Placed within the context of Hellenistic and Jewish historiography, and Biblical literature, this is a specialised study within Dead Sea Scroll scholarship.
