NEW BOOK ALERT:

Kenneth Atkinson, I Cried to the Lord: A Study of the Psalms of Solomon's Historical Background and Social Setting (Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism, 84; Leiden, Brill, 2004).

The author e-mails:
Although it is not explicit in the book description, readers of the blog may be especially interested in my use of the PssSol and the Qumran texts to reconstruct the worship practices of the Sadducees at the time of Pompey's conquest as well as Jewish beliefs regarding the messiah in the first century B.C.E.


I've found his earlier work on the Psalms of Solomon very useful and I look forward to reading this as well.
