520 $aThe Visions of Amram (4Q543-547), five copies of an Aramaic text found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, stems from the pre-Hasmonean period and provides evidence of a highly variegated society in early Judaism. In this book, Robert R. Duke offers a new reading of all the fragments and an in-depth discussion of their significance, illuminating a time period in Jewish history that needs more understanding and culminting in a suggested social location for its production. Duke concludes that 4Q543-547 was written by a disenfranchised group of priests who resided in Hebron. The importance of the patriarchal burials, chronology, endogamy, the figure of Moses, and angelology argue for a priestly group, whose members were also influenced by apocalyptic thinking. The suggestion of Hebron as the geographical location for this group is based on the theories of George Nickelsburg's and David Suter's work on 1 Enoch. Pre-Hasmonean Judaism was an intense time of dialogue and disagreement, and.
520 $a4Q543-547 is one more item to consider in reconstructing these social realities.
520 $a"Robert R. Duke offers an excellent new critical edition of the Visions of Amram. His bold new theses concerning the importance of the figure of Moses, patriarchal burials, chronology, and angelology argue for the disenfranchised priestly group that produced the Visions of Amram. This work shines new light on the shadowy subject of pre-Hasmonean Judaism and is a welcome contribution to the field." William M. Schniedewind, Kershaw Chair of Ancient Eastern Mediterranean Studies, UCLA --Book Jacket.
