Professor emeritus since 2012, Jean Duhaime taught Hebrew Bible at the

Faculté de théologie et de sciences des religions de l'Université de

Montréal from 1976 to 2012, and served there as Dean from 2005 to 2009.

This volume offered to Duhaime on occasion of his 68th birthday focuses

on his major contribution to scholarship: the construction of religious

identities at the crossroads of exegesis and the social sciences.

Contributions on this topic cover a wide range of literature: the Dead

Sea Scrolls, the Pseudepigrapha, the late Hebrew Bible writings and the

New Testament (Second Temple Period). Texts are studied through various

interpretative tools such as social-scientific criticism, literary

criticism, and historical criticism. Papers examine how ritual,

characterization, interpretation of religious texts, material artifacts,

etc. play a role in the identity formation of various Judaic and

Christian groups in the Second Temple period.
