The Hidden Bones Apocalypse – Next Steps

The manuscript of The Hidden Bones Apocalypse is now complete.

It presents several important ideas in the field of Hebrew bible study:

  1. The recognition that the special marker phrase conveys a single, coherent communication,
  2. The recognition that the communication is an apocalypse,
  3. The understanding of the need for its hiddenness,
  4. The identification of its creator as the author of the book of Daniel,
  5. The identification of the time of its creation,
  6. The analysis and understanding of the calendar “hint” in Daniel 12:7,
  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.
