Description

"Enoch and Qumran Origins is the first comprehensive treatment of the complex and forgotten relations between the Qumran community and the Jewish group behind the pseudepigraphal literature of Enoch. The contributors demonstrate that the roots of the Qumran community are to be found in the tradition of the Enoch group rather than that of the Jerusalem priesthood."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

In his elegant book The Sense of an Ending, critic Frank Kermode describes how the human imagination is drawn again and again to moments we call crises in trying to give some order and design to the past, present, and future (Kermode 2000, 94).
