Phinehas, the Sons of Zadok, and Melchizedek
«Chang brings a nuance to the discussion of priestly covenant ideology that has, until now, been lacking in scholarship. His work on the subject provides both brief histories of scholarship and new insights into understanding and interpreting texts from the late Second Temple period.»
Review and Expositor
Dongshin Don Chang examines 1 and 2 Maccabees, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Hebrews to see how the combined concepts of covenant and priesthood are defined and interlinked within various biblical and extra-biblical traditions. Les mer
Chang's analysis makes clear that some of the Second Temple compositions have pursued ideas of the legitimacy of priestly identities by juxtaposing the concepts of covenant and priesthood from various traditions. Interpretation and representation of certain traditions becomes a way in which some Second Temple Jews, and some members of the early Jewish Christian communities, developed their priestly covenantal identities. It is with an understanding of this, Chang argues, that we can better understand these Second Temple texts.
