Beyond the Essene Hypothesis: the Parting of the Ways between Qumran and Enochic Judaism (review) John D. Turner Hebrew Studies, Volume 44, 2003, pp. 273-275 (Review) Published by National Association of Professors of Hebrew DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/hbr.2003.0026 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/439056/summary Access provided at 18 Feb 2020 04:48 GMT from JHU Libraries Hebrew SllIdies 44 (2003) 273 Reviews BEYOND THE ESSENE HYPOTHESIS: THE PARTING OF THE WA YS BETWEEN QUMRAN AND ENOCHIC JUDAISM. By Gabriele Boccaccini. Pp. xxii + 230. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Willirun B. Eerdmans, 1998. Paper, $25.00. In this imaginative and well-written book, Boccaccini seeks to specify the identity of the Essene movement and its relationship to the Qumran commu nity of the Dead Sea by constructing a literary history of texts that represent "Enochic Judaism," a movement within second temple Judaism distinct from the Zadokite Judaism that predominated until the Maccabean revolt. It is this Enochic Judaism that gave rise to the Essene theology characteristic of many of the Qumran texts. In part I, "The Essenes in Ancient Historiography" (chap. 2), Boccaccini distinguishes between the depictions of the Essenes by the Jewish authors Philo and Josephus, who describe a diffuse network of Essene communities
