Of the many proposals for the conceptual background of the priestly Christology of the Epistle to the Hebrews, this book argues that the presentations of the messianic priest and Melchizedek in the Qumran texts provide the closest parallels to Hebrews’ thought.

Formerly known by its subtitle "Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete", the International Review of Biblical Studies has served the scholarly community ever since its inception in the early 1950's. Each annual volume includes approximately 2,000 abstracts and summaries of articles and books that deal with the Bible and related literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, Non-canonical gospels, and ancient Near Eastern writings. The abstracts - which may be in English, German, or French - are arranged thematically under headings such as e.g. "Genesis", "Matthew", "Greek language", "text and textual criticism", "exegetical methods and approaches", "biblical theology", "social and religious institutions", "biblical personalities", "history of Israel and early Judaism", and so on. The articles and books that are abstracted and reviewed are collected annually by an international team of collaborators from over 300 of the most important periodicals and book series in the fields covered.

Dongshin Don Chang examines 1 and 2 Maccabees, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Hebrews to see how the combined concepts of covenant and priesthood are defined and interlinked within various biblical and extra-biblical traditions. The three studies show the interesting and varying dynamics of the use of combined concepts of covenant and priesthood. The articulations of the two entities are shown to reflect, in part, the concern of the Second Temple Jewish authors; how significant the priestly institutions and priesthood were, not only in cultic matters, but also in relation to political and authoritative concerns. Chang's analysis makes clear that some of the Second Temple compositions have pursued ideas of the legitimacy of priestly identities by juxtaposing the concepts of covenant and priesthood from various traditions. Interpretation and representation of certain traditions becomes a way in which some Second Temple Jews, and some members of the early Jewish Christian communities, developed their priestly covenantal identities. It is with an understanding of this, Chang argues, that we can better understand these Second Temple texts.

Conrad Leyser examines the formation of the Christian ascetic tradition in the western Roman Empire during the period of the barbarian invasions, c.400-600. In an aggressively competitive political context, one of the most articulate claims to power was made, paradoxically, by men who hadrenounced 'the world', committing themselves to a life of spiritual discipline in the hope of gaining entry to an otherworldly kingdom. Often dismissed as mere fanaticism or open hypocrisy, the language of ascetic authority, Conrad Leyser shows, was both carefully honed and well understood in thelate Roman and early medieval Mediterranean. Dr Leyser charts the development of this new moral rhetoric by abbots, teachers, and bishops from the time of Augustine of Hippo to that of St Benedict and Gregory the Great.

In the 1990s alone, more than 400 works on angels were published, adding to an already burgeoning genre. Throughout the centuries angels have been featured in, among others, theological works on scripture; studies in comparative religions; works on art, architecture and music; philological studies; philosophical, sociological, anthropological, archeological and psychological works; and even a psychoanalytical study of the implications that our understanding of angels has for our understanding of sexual differences. This bibliography lists 4,355 works alphabetically by author. Each entry contains a source for the reference, often a Library of Congress call number followed by the name of a university that holds the work. More than 750 of the entries are annotated. Extensive indexes to names, subjects and centuries provide further utility.

„Titlul acestei cărți poate fi înșelător. Cititorul ar putea crede că are dinainte o lucrare de pură istorie culturală, o culegere de documente și analize, menite să devină un omagiu pios, comemorativ, adus unor grupuri de intelectuali care, în vremuri neprielnice, au încercat să-și păstreze chipul și să-și urmeze vocația. În realitate, e vorba de o reconstrucție erudită, dar intens simpatetică, a unui «model» de viață spirituală atemporal. E vorba despre modul în care se nasc întâlnirile purtătoare de destin, despre farmecul – și rigorile – drumului tatonant spre cunoaștere, despre comuniune, împreună-căutare, dramă lumească și speranță. E vorba despre efortul oamenilor de a se situa, de «a-și găsi locul» și despre «instituționalizarea» – dincolo de instituții – a formării intelectuale. În ce mă privește, am aflat neașteptat de multe lucruri despre împrejurări pe care credeam că le știu dinăuntru. Anca Manolescu le știe însă mai bine. Într-un anumit sens, ea este mai intim legată de modelele pe care le invocă decât chiar unii dintre reprezentanții lor.“ (Andrei PLEȘU) „E oare nepotrivit ca intelectualul să se comporte în credinţă ca intelectual? E inutil să-şi păstreze în acest domeniu chipul specific sau măcar ideal? Pofta de a înţelege, disciplina şi elanul gândului nu-şi găsesc locul în religie? În epocile premoderne, întrebarea ar fi fost întrucâtva caraghioasă. De la autori creştini timpurii până la monahismul medieval, nu a fost oare înfăţişată credinţa drept «filozofie» în sensul antic al termenului, drept «adevărata filozofie»: formare a sinelui întemeiată pe revelaţie, urmare a Logosului pe calea cunoaşterii lui Dumnezeu? Calea filozofiei, în rostul ei prim, şi calea cunoaşterii religioase nu sunt divergente. Ca stil de viaţă şi de convivialitate, între cercul filozofic şi grupul de studiu creştin, asemănările, nu deosebirile par să precumpănească. Modelul Antim şi modelul Păltiniş ne-o reamintesc.“ (Anca MANOLESCU)

The Dead Sea Scrolls enrich many areas of biblical research, as well as the study of ancient and rabbinic Judasim, early Christian and other ancient literatures, languages, and cultures. With nearly all Dead Sea Scrolls published, it is now time to integrate the Dead Sea Scrolls fully into the various disciplines that benefit from them. This two-volume collection of essays answers this need. It represents the proceedings of a conference jointly organized by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Vienna in Vienna on February 11 14, 2008.

Existe un orden de seres celestiales muy distintos de los seres humanos. Estos seres a pesar de ser dotados de muchos poderes sobrenaturales son también muy distintos a la Deidad. El estudio de estos seres llamados ángeles es precisamente a lo que ?llamamos: «angelología». Los ángeles ejecutan las órdenes de Dios. Son mensajeros del Creador.También hay ángeles caídos, los cuales formaron parte de una rebelión cósmica -bajo el mando de Satanás «Lucero, hijo de la mañana»- que comenzó en los cielos y fueron echados a tierra, y otros a prisiones, lo cual estudiaremos en el transcurso de este tomo.Los ángeles también interfieren en los asuntos humanos, aún en cuestiones de reinos y naciones, guerra y política, y algunos son asignados para ministrar a los santos, estos son «espíritus ministradores, enviados para servicio a favor de los que serán herederos de la salvación».Por otro lado, ángeles caídos forman parte de las «huestes espirituales de maldad en las regiones celestes», y el trabajo de estos ha sido interrumpir el progreso de la obra de Dios en la tierra, aunque sabemos que Dios es poderoso y soberano permitiendo lo que Él quiere permitir conforme a los designios de Su voluntad como vemos en la historia de Job.Entonces, comencemos este emocionante recorrido para entender lo que los textos sagrados nos dicen sobre estas fascinantes criaturas y su relación con la creación, la historia, los ministerios, los acontecimientos escatológicos y la eternidad.En este libro, el lector / estudiante tendrá espacio para ejercicios, notas, textos claves y un cuestionario para repasar lo aprendido al final de cada capítulo. Esto hace que este material pueda ser usado en la lectura privada individual o en el aula de clases del instituto bíblico, seminario, estudios de grupos, etc...
