An Apocalyptic Vision from Mari: Speculations on ARM X:9
| Title: | An Apocalyptic Vision from Mari: Speculations on ARM X:9 |
| Author: | Sasson, Jack M. |
| Abstract: | ..."we would suggest that the documentation for the study of apocalyptic eschatology is restricted neither to specific cultures (Judaeo-Christian) nor to specific periods (Post-exilic/Hellenistic), and that apocalypticizing ideologies need not be limited to the narrowest of elite circles. Rather, it could originate among obscure temple functionaries and could potentially be gleaned from any society whose leadership IS experiencing political and social stress." |
