Zadokite Propaganda in the Late Second Temple Period is a
monumental epoch-breaking work of scholarship in ancient history
and Jewish studies. This book examines centuries of scholarship on
ancient Jewish group identity and official Jewish religion in the
most tumultuous period of Jewish history, namely the beginnings of
the Maccabean era. Popularly known as the time period that gave the
Jewish world the most famous Jewish celebration period, Hanukkah,
the Maccabean Revolt was far more than a rebellion against Syrian
domination. The period represented an important turning point in
Jewish history, as village priests without any significant heritage
or repute successfully overthrew and expelled Zadokite priests from
the Jerusalem Temple and the city of Jerusalem itself. The
Zadokites had been the legitimate and dominant priests of the
Jerusalem Temple since the days of King Solomon, who built the
First Jerusalem Temple. The physical and political displacement of
Zadokite priests from their places of power, authority, and wealth
produced historically significant literate communities, such as the
Qumran community, and an abundance of literature, such as
commentaries, creative poetry, and apocalyptic works. These
writings all lamented the Zadokite displacement and prophesied a
New Age, when all would be restored to the way it should be. Thus,
Zadokites engaged in propaganda warfare of epic proportions with
all their erudition and political savvy, creating a model for
effective propaganda warfare. The Zadokite propaganda was so
effective that it set the tone for the language and theme of the
New Testament.
