Various types of Judaism at the turn of the eras,
By A Customer
This review is from: Middle Judaism: Jewish Thought, 300 B.C.E. to 200 C.E. (Hardcover)
Gabriele Boccaccini does a splendid job in showing the different types of Judaism at the turn of the eras. In so doing, he manages to demonstrate that what announced by Jesus, and what proclaimed by James, were nothing else than two different sub-varieties of contemporary Judaism.Born as a historian in Paolo Sacchi's school, and strongly related to James Charlesworth's studies, Boccaccini's researches have gone a long way in showing how different Judaism of the turn of the eras was from the picture given by traditional studies, which accused Judaism of being "Pharisaism" - that is, a religion devoid of ethics and obsessed by trivial observances. This is particularly evident in his chapter on the Testaments of the Patriarches. And, in the meantime, studies such as this one show Jesus and the first two generations of Christians to be what they really were - that is, Jews. |
