Beyerle, Stefan DIE GOTTESVORSTELLUNGEN IN DER ANTIK-JUDISCHEN APOKALYPTIK
9004131167 / 9789004131163 As New in As New dust jacket; Brill Academic Publishers; 2005; Hardcover
Text in German. From the Brill series 'Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism' volume 103. This monograph studies the theological motivations behind certain Jewish apocalypses by focusing on the mighty acts of God recounted in these writings. In particular, the work examines the various depictions of God’s acts and attributes as a means for learning about the individuals and groups responsible for the transmission of these apocalypses. Three prominent motifs, among others, receive attention here: theophanies (e. G. , I Enoch 1: 3–9; 25: 3; 77: 1; Daniel 4: 10, 20; 7: 9–10, 13–14) , portrayals of the resurrection (e. G. , I Enoch 102 – 104; Daniel 12: 1–3) , and interpretations of the (Babylonian) Exile in connection with the “new creation” (e. G. , Qumran, Jubilees, Pseudo-Philo). Apocalypticism provides a framework for various theologies. Generally speaking, God is shown as the most prominent figure in these dramas of eschatological events. The authors of these writings typically held that their only deliverance could arise from the imminent arrival of an otherworldly eon ushered in by the power of God. ; tall 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 548 pp
