Nodet suggests that the Essenes were scattered everywhere within Palestine in rural communities and that they used to commemorate a renewal of the early Israelites’ entrance into the Promised Land, after crossing the Jordan river and celebrating Passover at Gilgal with Joshua, Moses’ heir. The Essene dead were moved to be buried at Qumran in a well-organized graveyard, as the place was deemed to be a kind of gate to heaven.Nodet shows how the Jewish movement of the Essenes did not did not disappear after the war in 70 CE, rather its customs had a strong influence upon early Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. The chapters of this book examine the Essenes in the period after the war in Jerusalem, showing how this community developed and its longer term significance. This is linked to the texts of the New Testament, to the writings of Josephus and to the Qumran community’s own documents, the Dead Sea Scrolls.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Etienne NodetGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Jewish and Christian TextsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
