Judaism Of The Second Temple Period by Alan Flusser
A concise synthesis of Jewish life, thought, and literature in the late Second Temple era, tracing the diversity of movements—from Pharisees and Sadducees to Essenes and the Qumran community—and the rise of apocalyptic expectations. Through close readings of biblical, Second Temple, and Dead Sea texts, it explores evolving law, wisdom traditions, liturgy, and scriptural interpretation, as well as encounters with Hellenistic-Roman culture. The study illuminates the religious ideas and social dynamics that set the stage for rabbinic Judaism and the emergence of early Christianity.
