| Summary: | Blenkinsopp argues that Ezra–Nehemiah can be interpreted as indicative of a type of proto-sectarian group whose ideology was influenced by Ezekielian and diasporic prophetic ideas, particularly that of a renewed temple and a restored past. This is an idea that Blenkinsopp has alluded to in several former publications (‘The Development of Jewish Sectarianism from Nehemiah to the Hasidim’ in O. Lipschits, G. N. Knoppers, and R. Albertz [eds.], Judah and the Judeans in the Fourth Century B.C.E. [Winona Lake, IN: Eisenbrauns, 2007], pp. 385–402; ‘A Jewish Sect of the Persian Period’, CBQ 52 [1990], pp. 5–20); however, this is the first time that the idea has been thoroughly argued. |
