Adams.This volume considers a major shift among Jewish sages during the Second Temple period, as certain authors moved from an earthly focus to a belief in individual immortality. Egyptian instructions and the book of Proverbs are examined for necessary background. The colorful responses of Qoheleth and Ben Sira to an emergent belief in the afterlife are also discussed. 4QInstruction, the largest Wisdom text from the Dead Sea Scrolls corpus, demonstrates this shift to an eschatological understanding. This book considers the diverse reasons for the changes that one finds in 4QInstruction, especially the issue of social context. It will prove useful to those interested in Wisdom literature, the Dead Sea Scrolls, apocalypticism, and the development of beliefs in the afterlife.Supplements to the Journal for the study of Judaism ;v. 125.Future lifeJudaismImmortalityJudaismEschatology, JewishJudaismHistoryPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.DRabbinical literatureHistory and criticismElectronic books.Future lifeJudaism.ImmortalityJudaism.Eschatology, Jewish.JudaismHistoryRabbinical literatureHistory and criticism.296.09/014Adams Samuel L.1970-885966MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455092503321Wisdom in transition2184770UNINA
