The manuscript of The Hidden Bones Apocalypse is now complete.
It presents several important ideas in the field of Hebrew bible study:
- The recognition that the special marker phrase conveys a single, coherent communication,
- The recognition that the communication is an apocalypse,
- The understanding of the need for its hiddenness,
- The identification of its creator as the author of the book of Daniel,
- The identification of the time of its creation,
- The analysis and understanding of the calendar “hint” in Daniel 12:7,
- The understanding of the rabbinic suppression of the apocalypse writers’ view of Shavuot,
and more…
The hard task of preparation for publisher submissions begins now, but I will also now go back to the ethics project I put aside to work on the HBA.
