Abstract:
This paper discusses the contours of apocalyptic speculation in the late Second Temple era, from the Great Jewish Revolt (66-73 CE) to the Bar KokhbaRevolt (132-136 CE). This era represents the final chapter of apocalypticism inthe Second Temple period and the last time in classical antiquity when Jewishand Christian apocalyptic writings exhibit a relatively close homogeneity. Thefirst section of this paper surveys the corpus of apocalyptic writings of the lateSecond Temple era. The second section proposes methodological guidelines bywhich these writings may be evaluated in their totality, as expressions of a common cultural environment, rather than as individual texts. The third and finalsection considers some of the main features of late Second Temple apocalypticism in view of the New Testament writings of the era.
