In Judaism of the Second Temple Period (JSTP), Flusser examines the apocalyptic worldview of the Dead Sea Sect. Flusser’s collected essays on this subject are an important resource for Dead Sea Scrolls scholars and a useful introduction for beginners.
The second volume of JSTP considers the worldview of the rabbinic sages and introduces readers to prominent Second Temple period personalities such as Hillel, Philo of Alexandria and Josephus.
David Flusser (1917 – 2000) was professor of early Christianity and Judaism of the Second Temple Period at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His best-known book, Jesus, was translated into eleven languages.
Flusser was prolific scholar of ancient Judaism. His contributions to Dead Sea Scrolls research and apocalyptic literature are inestimable. These English editions, co-published by Jerusalem Perspective (JP), make more of Flusser’s insightful work available to a wider audience than ever before.
Notice to Purchasers
Although the two volumes of Judaism of the Second Temple Period are a valuable resource, it has come to the attention of JP that the English translations are marred by numerous errors and omissions. JP has made an effort to identify and correct these errors in a post entitled “Corrections and Emendations to Flusser’s Judaism of the Second Temple Period.”

This two-volume collection of Flusser’s articles is a valuable resource. Unfortunately, the outstanding brilliance of the original Hebrew articles is marred by the astounding number of errors and omissions in the English translations presented in these two volumes. The errors and omissions are so egregious they often render Flusser’s articles incomprehensible. See the blog post at this link (https://www.jerusalemperspective.com/16266/), which seeks to identify and correct the errors in this otherwise useful two-volume work.
