| Title: Priestly Ideologies of the Judean Resistance Secondary Title: JSQ Volume: 3 Pages: 225-249 Type: Journal Article Year: 1996 Abstract: Kugler, Robert A. in: OTA 20.2 (1997), 302: "G. argues that two ideological components of the resistance to Roman rule that led to the war between Rome and the Jews of 66-73 C.E. emerged from priestly circles and indicate a priestly role in promoting that conflict. Specifically, G. suggests that the party of Judah the Galilean and its ideology of "no Lord but God" (Josephus, Ant. 18.9,23; BJ 2:118) was hierocratic and contributed one component to the resistance against Rome. He also suggests that the elevation of Phinehas' "zeal" (Num 25:1-15) to a key virtue in literature of the period (see, e.g., 1 Macc 2:23-27,50,54,58; Sir 45:23-25; Jub 20:18-20), and the merger of Elijah with Phinehas in the contemporary religious imagination (see, e.g., Bib. Ant. 48:1) emerged from a priestly matrix and provided further conceptual support to the resistance".
García Martínez, Florentino: "L' analyse des éléments du dossier ne permet pas de prouver l'origine sacerdotale de la "quatriéme philosophie", mais il montre la composante sacerdotale de l'idéologie de la résistance contre Rome. G. conclut: "The preceding has made the case that two ideological components in the resistance to Roman rule were likely to have emerged from priestly circles. These are the notion of "no lord but God" and the invocation of biblical and Hasmonean precedents for "zeal"". Keywords: History of the Judean War (66-73) |
