Trajectories of holy war discourses from Second Temple Jewish to early Christian apocalypticism : the book of Revelation and the Qumran War Scroll - a comparative study

Abstract

This study is a comparative analysis of the Qumran War Scroll (1QM) with John’s Apocalypse. It is conducted along the lines of discursive comparison, with a focus on the literary and ideological theme of Holy War. The study incorporates a mixed methodological approach, initially drawing its literary comparisons between the discourses of the two primary texts, then assessing their rhetorical aims throughout.

Hierdie studie is 'n vergelykende analise van die Qumran Krygsrol (1QM) met die Openbaring van Johannes. Dit word uitgevoer deur 'n diskursiewe vergelyking, met die fokus op die literêre en ideologiese tema van die Heilige Oorlog. Die studie bevat 'n gemengde metodologiese benadering, wat aanvanklik literêre vergelykings tussen die diskoerse van die twee primêre tekste teken en dan hul onderskeie retoriese doelwitte deurgaans beoordeel.
