“…Fitzmyer and Harrington (1978) and Beyer (1984Beyer ( , 1994Beyer ( , 2004 provided transcriptions and translations of a considerable amount of Qumran Aramaic manuscripts before their appearance in DJD editions, and several scholars published editions of specific compositions in monographs and articles either before or after their official publications in DJD. Some of the most important examples include the following: the cave 11 Job translation (van der Ploeg and van der Woude 1971; Sokoloff 1974), the Testament of Qahat (Puech 1991;Cook 1992), Tales of the Persian Court (Milik 1992;Collins and Green 1999), Biblical Chronograph (Wise 1997), the Book of Giants (Stuckenbruck 1997), the Aramaic Levi Document (Greenfield, Stone, and Eshel 2004;Drawnel 2004), New Jerusalem (DiTommaso 2005b), Pseudo-Daniel c ( Wise 2005), Physiognomy/ Horoscope (Popović 2007), and the Visions of Amram (Duke 2010).

The Aramaic Dead Sea Scrolls have attracted increasing scholarly attention since their official publication was completed in 2009. These manuscripts, representing about thirty distinct compositions, attest to the existence of a previously unknown Jewish Aramaic scribal culture that flourished in the early Hellenistic period (ca. late fourth to mid-second centuries BCE). The Aramaic Scrolls thus have the potential to illuminate an otherwise poorly understood period of Jewish history. In this article, I discuss the various scholarly approaches to their language, literary content, and social location, with a special emphasis on trends in the secondary literature since the late 2000s. This article will also provide interested students and scholars with an overview of the major themes and concerns found throughout the Aramaic Scrolls.

“…There is no agreement regarding the identity of Paul's opponents in 2 Corinthians 10-13. Scholars usually identify them as belonging to one of the following groups: 'advocates of Gentiles adopting circumcision, Sabbath, and food laws from the Torah, Gnostics, "divine men", and Pneumatics' (Sumney 2005:14 Popovic (2007) shows how widespread these perceptions on the relationship between body and character were in ancient Jewish circles.…”

'Walking the talk’: Paul’s authority in motion in 2 Corinthians 10–13

One’s gait or incessus served as a prominent visual indicator of moral character and status in ancient Graeco-Roman societies. Nobles, aristocrats and slaves walked differently. Linking on to this ‘common-sense knowledge’, Paul’s opponents in 2 Corinthians 10–13 shamed him publicly due to his inability to do the ‘leadership walk’ amongst the Corinthians. Whilst rhetorically engaging with these stereotypes, the apostle simultaneously deconstructs them with regard to the deep structure of the text. A new form of spiritual authority, which is also embodied in the weakness of Christ on the cross, surfaces in Paul’s own bodily humiliations and apparent powerlessness.’Om jou praat te loop’: Paulus se outoriteit aan die beweeg in 2 Korintiërs 10–13. Individue se liggaamstaal of incessus was ‘n prominente visuele aanduiding van morele karakter en status binne antieke Grieks-Romeinse gemeenskappe. Adelikes, aristokrate en slawe het almal op verskillende maniere geloop. In die lig van hierdie algemene kennis het Paulus se opponente in 2 Korintiërs 10–13 hom in die publiek verneder vanweë sy onvermoë om die ‘leierskaploop’ te doen tussen die Korintiërs. Terwyl Paulus enersyds in gesprek tree met hierdie stereotipe idees, dekonstrueer hy dit in dieselfde asem ten opsigte van die dieptestruktuur van die teks. ‘n Nuwe vorm van geestelike outoriteit, wat ook in die swakheid van Christus aan die kruis geleë is, kom na vore in Paulus se eie liggaamlike vernederings en oënskynlike kragteloosheid.

Influence of the Enochic tradition on Qumran: reception and adaptation of the Watchers and Giants as a case study

The confluence of different Jewish traditions in the Qumran library is evident. The Enochic traditions are not only counted as the oldest influences in Qumran, they also give it a certain theological unity. This is even more true in the case of demonology. Belial’s figure brings together a rich lexicographic heritage in which different traditions are integrated under the characteristics of the Watchers and Giants of the Enochic tradition (1 En 6—8). This study analyzes the theological characterization of the demonological figures found in Qumran to specify the Enochic influence on it.
