Dongshin Don Chang examines 1 and 2 Maccabees, the Dead Sea
Scrolls, and Hebrews to see how the combined concepts of covenant
and priesthood are defined and interlinked within various biblical
and extra-biblical traditions. The three studies show the
interesting and varying dynamics of the use of combined concepts of
covenant and priesthood. The articulations of the two entities are
shown to reflect, in part, the concern of the Second Temple Jewish
authors; how significant the priestly institutions and priesthood
were, not only in cultic matters, but also in relation to political
and authoritative concerns. Chang's analysis makes clear that some
of the Second Temple compositions have pursued ideas of the
legitimacy of priestly identities by juxtaposing the concepts of
covenant and priesthood from various traditions. Interpretation and
representation of certain traditions becomes a way in which some
Second Temple Jews, and some members of the early Jewish Christian
communities, developed their priestly covenantal identities. It is
with an understanding of this, Chang argues, that we can better
understand these Second Temple texts.
This volume of essays is focused on the significance of the book of
Exodus for studies in the Septuagint, Second Temple Jewish
literature, the New Testament, and Christian theology. A diverse
group of scholars from various parts of the world, many of whom are
well-known in their fields, employs a range of methodologies in the
treatment of text-critical, linguistic, literary, historical,
cultural, exegetical, intertextual, and theological topics. Parts
of the relevant literary corpus that are dealt with in relation to
the book of Exodus include Genesis, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Psalms,
Zechariah, 3 Maccabees, the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, the
Epistles of 1 Thessalonians, Hebrews, and 1 Peter, as well as the
Dead Sea Scrolls. This book will be a valuable resource for
scholars and students in the areas of biblical and theological
studies, as well as clergy. The distinguished contributors include
Emanuel Tov, Albert Pietersma, Daniela Scialabba, Craig A. Evans,
James M. Scott, Martin G. Abegg Jr., and Wolfgang Kraus.
