Dear Daniel,
Thanks for these helpful references. I have the first on order from Mohr
Siebeck; I wasn't aware of the second.
Also to be noted is the sharp attack against the Sanders approach by
Jacob Neusner, "What is "A Judaism"? in his JUDAISM IN LATE ANTIQUITY,
Part 5, vol 1, Brill, 2001, pp. 3-21. Equally critical of the Sanders
synthesis is Wayne Meeks in a lecture that he just presented to the
5-College (=Smith, Mount Holyoke, Hampshire, Amherst and UMASS) Seminar
on Biblical Literature last month and soon to be published. In light of
Qumran, Sanders (my dear and good friend) is quickly being relegated to
the "old" perspective.
