"Persepolis and Jerusalem" reconsiders Iranian influence upon
Jewish apocalyptic, and offers grounds upon which such study may
proceed. After describing the history of scholarship on the
question of Iranian influence and on Jewish apocalyptic, the author
reformulates the methodology for understanding apocalyptic and
influence. Two chapters set the discussion firmly in the Achaemenid
Empire, describing the sources for Iranian religion, the issues
involved in attempting a historical reconstruction, the methodology
by which one can date the various texts and ideas, and the
potential loci for Iranian-Judaean interaction. The historical
context is expanded through media-contextualization, particularly
Oral Theory, and critiques the standard text-centric method of
current Biblical Scholarship. With this background, pericopes from
Ezekiel, Daniel, and 1 Enoch are analyzed for Iranian influence.
The study then brings together the contexts and analyses to argue
for an 'Apocalyptic Hermeneutic' which relates the phenomena of
apocalypticism, apocalypse, and millenarianism--seeing the
hermeneutic as a dialectical thread holding them all together as
well as apart-- and posits this as the best place to understand
Iranian influences. >
