Basic to methodology is the article of
CARMIGNAC J., "Qu'est-ce que l'apocalyptique? Son emploi a Qumran" in Revue de Qumran 10, 1979, 3-33. He upholds the need to distinguish clearly between forms of apocalypse and apocalyptic in what concerns the possible trends of thought. In order to avoid confusion he would prefer not to use the traditional term apocalyptic for the latter; it really does not seem necessary to go as far as that.
