Excerpt from The Assumption of Moses: Translated From the Latin Sixth Century Ms., The Unemended Text of Which Is Published Herewith, Together With the Text in Its Restored and Critically Emended Form Edited
It may be well here to indicate the features in which this edition differs from previous editions of the Assumption. These consist (1) in a fuller and more critical treatment of the Latin text, and of the Greek and Semitic background which it pre supposes; (2) in an exegesis of the text at once more comprehensive and detailed.

Excerpt from The Assumption of Moses: Translated From the Latin Sixth, Century the Unemended Text, of Which Is Published Herewith, Together With the Text in Its Restored and Critically Emended Form Edited
Written in Hebrew shortly after the beginning of the Christian era, this book was designed by its author to protest against the growing secularisation of the Pharisaic party through its fusion with political ideals and popular Messianic beliefs. Its author, a Pharisaic Quietist, sought herein to recall his party to the old paths, which they were fast forsaking, of Simple unobtrusive obedience to the Law. He glorifies, accordingly, the old ideals which had been cherished and pursued by the Chasid and Early Pharisaic party, but which the Pharisaism of the first century B.C. had begun to disown in favour of a more active role in the life of the nation. He foresaw, perhaps, the doom to which his country was hurrying under such a shortsighted and unspiritual policy, and laboured with all his power to stay its downward progress. But all in vain. He but played afresh the part of Cassandra.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a fascinating and long-lost text known as the Assumption of Moses, believed to have been written in Hebrew shortly after the dawn of Christianity. The author, a devout Jew steeped in scripture and history, offers a powerful and poignant critique of the growing political ambitions within the Pharisee movement. Fearing the consequences of this shift away from spiritual devotion, he passionately advocates for a return to the core principles of the faith: simple obedience to the Law and quiet anticipation of divine intervention. This ancient work provides a unique window into the tumultuous era in which it was written, a time marked by the rise of Christianity and the escalating tensions between the Jewish people and the Roman Empire. The author's insights into the religious and political landscape of first-century Judea offer invaluable context for understanding the historical backdrop against which both Judaism and Christianity developed. The book explores themes of faith, obedience, and the nature of the relationship between God and his chosen people. It grapples with the complexities of Jewish identity and destiny in a world increasingly dominated by Roman power. Ultimately, the book's enduring significance lies in its timeless call for spiritual renewal and its unwavering belief in the power of faith to guide individuals and nations through even the darkest of times. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
