英语词汇essenes的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Essenes; Essenian; Essenic. According to unsubstantiated traditions, both Jesus and John the Baptist were originally Ess- enes, a sect of pre-Christian Jews that emphasized ascetic self- discipline, communal property, ceremonial purity, and bap- tism. The Essenes dressed in white, strictly obeyed the Sabbath, ate no meat, and drank only water. They led a monastic life, shunning marriage and wealth, and similarly ascetic persons are sometimes called Essenes or Essenic today. Little accurate historical information is available about the Essenes, but since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in Qumràn, thought to be the Essenian homeland, there has been renewed interest in the group.
