In Antiquity, knowledge was cherished as a scarce good, cultivated through the close teacher-student relationship and often preserved in the closed circle of the initated. From Assyrian and Babylonian cuneiform texts to a Shi'ite Islamic tradition, this volume explores how and why knowledge was shared or concealed by diverse communities in a range of Ancient and Late Antique cultural contexts. From caves by the Dead Sea to Alexandria, both normative and heterodox approaches to knowledge in Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities are explored. Biblical and qur'anic passages, as well as gnostic, rabbinic and esoteric Islamic approaches are discussed. In this volume, a range of scholars from Assyrian studies to Jewish, Christian and Islamic studies examine diverse approaches to, and modes of, knowledge transmission and concealment, shedding new light on both the interconnectedness, as well as the unique aspects, of the monotheistic faiths, and their relationship to the ancient civilisations of the Fertile Crescent. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 05, 2018). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 586 B.C.-600 A.D.|2fast 650 0 Sacred books|xHistory and criticism.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010111772 650 0 Transmission of texts.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85136986 650 0 Judaism|xHistory|yPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.D. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85070849 650 0 Church history|yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85025620 650 0 Islam|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh87000556 650 7 Sacred books.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1103109 650 7 Transmission of texts.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1154863 650 7 Islam.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/979776 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Popović, Mladen,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2007094465|eeditor. 700 1 Roig Lanzillotta, Lautaro,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/no2007084480|eeditor. 700 1 Wilde, Clare Elena,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2014004445|eeditor. 776 0 |cEPUB|z9783110593662 776 0 |cprint|z9783110595710 830 0 Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - tension, transmission, transformation ;|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2015056859|vvolume 10. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1893717|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
