Did Israelite Jewish apocalyptic literature originate among alienated or disenfranchised groups? In this overview of apocalypticism in the Hebrew Bible, Stephen Cook contends that such thinking and writing stems from priestly groups that held power.
Stephen L. Cook is Catherine N. McBurney Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature at Virginia Theological Seminary and the author of a number of books in Hebrew Bible studies, including Prophecy and Apocalypticism (Fortress Press, 1995). He resides in Alexandria, VA.
