Abstract | This is Part III of a multi-part article. This Part advances the thesis that the practice of community of goods amongst the Essenes across southern Palestine at the time of Jesus was centred in Essene 'houses of the community' located in c. 200 villages, where these houses significantly alleviated poverty amongst the rural agrarian working population. One of these houses was Bethany, which means 'House of the Poor', new Jerusalem, where Jesus was anointed by a Jerusalem patrons of the house as royal Messianic leader of the nation. |
