Otherworldly and Eschatological Priesthood in the Dead Sea Scrolls »

Joseph L. Angel, Ph.D. (2008) in Hebrew and Judaic Studies, New York University, is Instructor of Bible at Yeshiva University. His research concentrates on the Dead Sea Scrolls and the history and literature of Judaism in the Second Temple Period.

Departing from scholarship dedicated to the socio-historical realities of priesthood at Qumran, this book explores images of otherworldly and messianic/eschatological priesthood in the Dead Sea Scrolls as a reflection of the religious worldview of the Qumran community and related groups.
