Why this library matters: Theme 2 is rebuilt on the premise that the calendar God gave Israel was a 364-day solar calendar โ NOT the post-exilic lunar calendar that later crept in. The Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book of Jubilees, and the book of Enoch all testify to this. Ken Johnson and Barney Kasdan are the two authors anchoring this theme.
