Essenes. The Elect of Israel and The Priests of Artemis. - JONES, A.H.,
KORTE INHOUD
?Thesis in the present book is that the Qumran sect received its name Essenes from Hellenists in the region, including the many Hellenised Jews, who regarded with surprise the sect?s celibacy as(?). In any case the author?s assumption of the name Essenes for the Qumran sect being derived by Hellenists and Hellenised Jews from the name of the Artemis priests cannot be substantiated from any document (?). Thus the argument remains speculative. (?) All things together, I cannot see this book as w welcome addition [to the huge mass of books and articles published, since their discovery, on the Dead Sea Scrolls? - ND]. (A. HILHORST in Journal for the Study of Judaism in the Persian, Hellenistic and Roman Period, 1987, p.91).
