Resources on 2nd Temple Literature
note: These resources are provided to help give us context and understanding of thoughts, explanations and dialogue during Paul's time as people attempted to grasp the meaning and significance of the Hebrew scriptures. Paul speaks to some of these issues as he writes his letters to the churches. The benefit in reading these as christians is to become aware of the conversations and dialogue that were being had "behind the scenes" in order to help us understand the New Testament scripture in fuller context.
