Apocalypticism and Mysticism in Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity

This volume arises from a conference at Blomfontein, South Africa, in August 2017. It contains a lengthy survey of recent scholarship on apocalypticism and mysticism by Pieter de Villiers, and essays on the mystical component in the Dead Sea Scrolls, Philo, Paul and Revelation, with recurring discussion of the definition of mysticism in the Jewish and early Christian contexts.
