In addition to the recommended pieces by Brown and Caragounis, I would also
recommend the following:

--Coppens, Joseph.  "Mystery in the Theology of St. Paul and Its Parallels
at     Qumran."  In Paul and the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Ed. Jerome Murphy
O'Connor, 132-158.  New York:  Crossroad Publishing Company, 1990.

--Harvey, A. E.  "The Use of Mystery Language in the Bible."  Journal of
Theological    Studies 31 (1980):  320-336.

--Brown, Raymond.  "The Pre-Christian Semitic Concept of Mystery."  CBQ 20
(1958):  416-443.
