A Jewish Apocalyptic Framework of Eschatology in the Epistle to the HebrewsProtology and Eschatology as Background\nAuthor(s): Jihye Lee\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: T.& T.Clark Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780567703057, 978-0567703057\nSynopsis\nIn contrast to scholarly belief that the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews envisions the transcendent, heavenly world as the eschatological inheritance of Gods people, Jihye Lee argues that a version of an Urzeit-Endzeit eschatological framework - as observed in some Jewish apocalyptic texts - provides a plausible background against which the arguments of Hebrews are most comprehensively explained. Instead of transcendence to the heavenly world that will come after the destruction of the shakable creation, Lee suggests the possibility of a more dualistic new world.\n\nBy first defining Urzeit-Endzeit eschatology, Lee is then able to explore its place in both pre and post 70 CE Second Temple Juda.
