 The Survivors of Israel: A Reconsideration of the Theology of Pre-Christian Judaism Mark Adam Elliot 
 Description From The Publisher: This study challenges the conventional view of scholars like E. P. Sanders that Late Second Temple Judaism was theologically nationalistic, offering in its place a theory that the intertestamental writings did not anticipate the salvation of all Jews but only of a faithful remnant within Israel. Working carefully with the major books of the pseudepigrapha and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Mark Adam Elliott shows that the authors of such works anticipated an imminent—and scathing—judgment of Israel that would exclude many, or even most, Israelites from the saved community. This provocative thesis not only confronts accepted perspectives on Late Second Temple Judaism but also suggests important implications for our reading of Paul and the New Testament. Reviews This exhaustive and erudite study offers many new and compelling arguments which will prove to be significant in the contemporary debate on the nature of Christianity's Jewish background. —The Expository Times The scholarship that produced this book is both careful and extensive. The author employs an approach that is historical, sociological, and literary as he develops this systematic study. —The Bible Today
