Abstract

In this paper, I seek to isolate and seek out criteria for understanding the social functioning of esotericism in the period of the Second Temple. In addition to clarifying what is meant by “esoteric,” several other terms are considered: mystery and secret being the chief among them. The understanding of the terminology in studies of Western esotericism is investigated from a comparative perspective. The outcome of this research is then confronted with some esoteric groups of the Second Temple Period such as Therapeutai and Essenes. For the Essenes, the advantage of having both insider and outsider reports of their activity is stressed.

古代犹太医院：几点思考

在这篇论文中，我试图孤立并寻求理解第二圣殿时期密教社会功能的标准。除了澄清“深奥”的含义外，还考虑了其他几个术语：神秘和秘密是其中的主要术语。从比较的角度考察了西方密教研究中对术语的理解。这项研究的结果是面对第二圣殿时期的一些神秘团体，如Therapeutai和Essenes。对于埃森夫妇来说，他们的活动既有内部报告，也有外部报告，这一优势得到了强调。

期刊介绍： The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
