The escalating crisis in Judea under Hellenistic rule -- The statue and the stone: the tales of Daniel -- The giants who kill and devour: Enoch's book watchers -- Wolves and sheep, eagles, and lambs: Enoch's animal vision and other historical surveys -- A terrifying fourth beast: the visions of Daniel.

Roman conquest and Roman rule -- The war against the "Kittim": the covenant community at Qumran -- The arrogance of the dragon: Roman conquest in the Psalms of Solomon -- Visions of vindication: the parables of Enoch and the updated Testament of Moses -- Demonstration, organization, and assassination: parallel scribal resistance.

Subject: In previous studies, Richard A. Horsley has set Jesus in the context of Jewish prophetic and social banditry movements and has elaborated the imperial context of the New Testament writings. Here he surveys responses in Second Temple Jewish literature to the rise of Hellenistic and Roman empires, discovering in a range of apocalyptic writings the traces of a coherent movement of defiance, critique, and resistance to tyranny. Revolt of the Scribes breaks new ground in the study of apocalyptic origins and in our understanding of Jewish life in the Greco-Roman world. https://www.amazon.com/Revolt-Scribes-Resistance-Apocalyptic-Origins/dp/0800662962/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9780800662967&qid=1600466876&s=books&sr=1-1
