This is a distinguished list of contributors consider the issue of
'soteriology' in "Second Temple literature". Did authors of "Second
Temple texts" concern themselves with 'salvation'? If so, on what
terms? What does one need 'salvation' from? And are the parameters
of who is included in or excluded from 'salvation' defined?
Gurtner's vision in compiling this collection is to collect
contributions on a single topic as it is addressed in individual
books from the Second Temple period. Working from a sound
methodological basis the contributors assess the theme in different
books, acknowledging that the approaches in each text are
different, depending on issues of genre and provenance. This allows
an acute comparison of how this topic is present across a myriad of
"Second Temple Jewish texts". Throughout the course of the work the
notion of 'soteriology' is very broadly conceived. Whilst
acknowledging the obviously Christian connotation of the term
'soteriology' the volume similarly acknowledges the usefulness of
the term as an heuristic category for careful analysis. "The
Library of Second Temple Studies" is a premier book series that
offers cutting-edge work for a readership of scholars, teachers,
postgraduate students and advanced undergraduates in the field of
Second Temple studies. All the many and diverse aspects of Second
Temple study are represented and promoted, including innovative
work from historical perspectives, studies using social-scientific
and literary theory, and developing theological, cultural and
contextual approaches.
