Interpretations of Daniel 12: 1 And Perceptions of the Christian »Other«
This paper analyses perceptions of the Christian »other« in rabbinic and apocalyptic traditions in the period from Constantine to the emergence of Islam. It focuses on the reception of Daniel and particularly on traditions in Ruth Rabba, Pirqe Mashiah and Otot ha-Mashiah that use interpretations of Dan 12:1 to outline concepts of Israel's history in terms of religious status and election in relation to the »other« and reveal perspectives on Chris…
Visualizing Jews Through the Ages: Literary and Material Representations of Jewishness and Judaism
In the centre of Jerusalem stood the Jewish Temple and in the inner sanctum of the Temple was the 'Holy of Holies', a place where only one man, the High Priest, was permitted to enter just once a year, on the Day of Atonement.

The importance of the Torah is a prominent theme in apocalyptic literature of the seventh century, yet this material has scarcely been discussed in analysis of the role of Torah in the future age. The discussion will focus on the distinctive image of God as a teacher in the midrashic apocalypse Pirqe Mashiah a…
