| Title: The Jewish Temple at Leontopolis. A Reconsideration Secondary Title: JJS Volume: 33 Pages: 429-443 Type: Journal Article Year: 1982 Abstract: "In War 1:31-33 and 7:426-436, Josephus presented the establishment of the Jewish temple at Leontopolis as the fruit of party strife (philoneikia), the very quality that led to the undoing of the Jewish nation in A.D. 66-70. The article considers the following features in Josephus' accounts of the temple at Leontopolis: the tower-temple symbolism, the height of the tower, the altar and the offerings, the candlestick, the Isaiah proof-texts, and the wall. The Qumran and Leontopolis movements may originally have been two branches of a common Zadokite movement that rejected the Jerusalem Temple and its priests". - D.J.H.
