Product Description

""The Essenes"" by Francis Legge is a comprehensive study of the ancient Jewish sect known as the Essenes. The book delves into the history, beliefs, and practices of the Essenes, who were known for their ascetic lifestyle and strict adherence to Jewish law. Legge draws on a variety of sources, including the writings of Josephus and Philo, to paint a vivid picture of this fascinating group of people. He explores their beliefs about God, the afterlife, and the role of the Messiah, as well as their unique practices, such as communal living and strict dietary restrictions. Legge also examines the relationship between the Essenes and other Jewish sects of the time, such as the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Overall, ""The Essenes"" provides a thorough and insightful look into this important aspect of Jewish history and culture.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Forerunners and Rivals of Christianity From 330 BC to 330 AD, by Francis Legge.
