Translated by Azzan Yadin Foreword by David Bivin David Flusser was a very prolific scholar of the Dead Sea Scrolls; and his contributions to Scrolls research; apocalypticism; and apocalyptic literature are inestimable. With this English translation of many of his essays; Flusser's insights are now available to a wider audience than ever before. Here Flusser examines the influence of apocalypticism on various Jewish sects. He states that the teachings of Jesus; while reflecting first and foremost the views of the sages; were also influenced by Jewish apocalypticism. Examining the Essenes; their effect on Hebrew language; the split of sects; and much more; Flusser's collected essays offer an important source of study for any Dead Sea Scrolls scholar.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great ReadBy Jerome GayLetters to a Birmingham Jail is inspiring; intense; confrontational; honest and thought-provoking; this is a must read not just for church leaders; but for our country. The landscape of America is changing and we'll need authentic diversity to combat the homogenous cultural assumptions that plague The Church and how she's viewed by society. Again this is a must read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Self EvaluationBy Doug SatterwhiteThis book pulls you out of your comfort zone and makes you think about attitudes buried deep within. If you let it; the Holy Spirit will help you recognize that you need to change and be part of the intentional church led effort to change our racial inequality.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
