$3$-Manifolds which Are End $1$-Movable

By: Matthew G. Brin,Thomas Lusk Thickstun

This paper continues a series by the authors on non-compact 3-manifolds. We describe the structure, up to end homeomorphism, of those orientable, non-compact 3-manifolds in which all loops near infinity [symbol] homotop to infinity [symbol] while staying near infinity [symbol] (the proper homotopy condition "end 1-movability" of the title). This extends previous work by others and by the authors because end 1-movability is weaker than properties studied before, and also because our result is the first to analyse a class of non-compact 3-manifolds whose defining properties include neither irreducibilty nor compact boundary. Our main tool is the end reduction--introduced in our earlier papers, developed further. End reductions are "simple" approximations of a non-compact 3-manifold that capture many of the manifold's properties.

The Worldly and Heavenly Wisdom of 4QInstruction

By: Matthew J. Goff

This volume is devoted to 4QInstruction, the last lengthy text of the Dead Sea Scrolls to be officially published. It is also the largest wisdom text of this corpus. The central concern of this study is how this composition should be understood in relation to the sapiential and apocalyptic traditions. Features of 4QInstruction that are examined include its appeal to revelation, its presentation of poverty, and its eschatology. The document’s relationship to both 1 Enoch and the Dead Sea sect is also discussed. This study will prove useful to anyone interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the reception of the Jewish wisdom tradition in the Second Temple period, and apocalypticism.

Discerning Wisdom

The Sapiential Literature of the Dead Sea Scrolls

By: Matthew J. Goff

Before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ben Sira was the only Hebrew wisdom text from the late Second Temple period. The Qumran scrolls provide an abundance of previously unknown Hebrew sapiential material. Discerning Wisdom provides a systematic overview of all the Qumran texts that are commonly identified as wisdom compositions. This literature raises issues such as the incorporation of apocalypticism and Torah piety into the sapiential tradition. The Dead Sea Scrolls offer crucial evidence for understanding the wisdom of the late Second Temple period and the reception of traditional wisdom in Early Judaism.
