David Flusser was an incredibly prolific scholar of ancient Judaism, and his contributions to Dead Sea Scrolls research and apocalyptic literature are inestimable. This English edition makes more of Flusser's insightful work available to a wider audience than ever before. This second volume in Judaism of the Second Temple Period considers why the Book of Daniel was the only apocalyptic work incorporated in the biblical canon. It further addresses the fact that while it is the only apocalyptic book composed before the destruction of the Second Temple, it nonetheless describes events subsequent to the revelation at Sinai.

David Flusser (1917-2000) was professor of earlyChristianity and Second Temple Judaism at the HebrewUniversity of Jerusalem, a member of the Israel Academy ofSciences and Humanities, and a recipient of the nationalIsrael Prize in 1980 for his academic achievements.
