''' Reclaiming the Dead Sea Scrolls: The History of Judaism, the Background of Christianity, the Lost Library of Qumran ''' (1994) is a book by [[Lawrence H. Schiffman]].

==Abstract==

Schiffman’s ''Reclaiming the Dead Sea Scrolls'' is perhaps most noteworthy for its insistence that non-Jewish scholars hijacked the scrolls, slowing down the publication process, whereas Qumran scholarship (and its readers) would be much better off if Jewish scholars, who spoke, wrote, and understood Hebrew, took over the responsibilities for translating, publishing and analyzing the scrolls. Schiffman presents his unique thesis that the Qumran community was comprised of schismatic Sadducees, who brought many of the scrolls to the community.

==ABSTRACT==

''From Politics to Piety'' (Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, 1973) traces the transformation of the Pharisees from political activism in the first century BCE to a less political, more quietistic religious group after the Great Revolt and into the rabbinic era. Neusner pioneered a critical approach to rabbinic literature, demonstrating a staunch refusal to blindly accept their stories as historical fact. His perspective on Josephus and the gospels was equally skeptical. He questions how much Josephus really knew about the Pharisees, and he argues that the gospels’ presentation of the Pharisees reveals more about their lives and influence after the Great Revolt than before. In this approach he is adopting the position of his own teacher, Morton Smith. This book is not only a valuable basic introduction to the Pharisees, but a worthy example of how to analyze source material. - '''Ronald Ruark''', University of Michigan

1. The Problem of the Historical Pharisees

The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and the New Testament (1985 Charlesworth), book

2009-11-19T22:42:43Z

Rruark: /* Abstract */

'''The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and the New Testament: Prolegomena for the Study of Christian Origins ''' (1985) is a book by [[James H. Charlesworth]].

==Abstract==

This book is more than an introduction to Charlesworth's ''Old Testament Pseudepigrapha'' (1983-85). The goal of the work is to place the New Testament writings into its proper context of Early Judaism. A prominent concern of Charlesworth is the ignorance of the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha among many New Testament scholars, who prefer to read the New Testament in the context of Old Testament canonical traditions and nothing else. This text demonstrates the relevance of the Pseudepigrapha for New Testament scholarship, and reminds all scholars that Christianity owes much to its Jewish heritage. - '''Ronald Ruark''', University of Michigan
