Qumran Studies: New Approaches, New Questions

Description

In Qumran Studies the texts considered are old
but the questions are new, standard positions are revisited, and issues are reopened with fresh results.

The Dead Sea Scrolls have undeniably revolutionized scholarly understanding on a number of fronts. This revolution has been ongoing for over fifty years and shows no signs of letting up
especially as full publication of the Scrolls is now complete. With that publication, the important work of interpretation and analysis can continue with a rethinking of earlier analyses in light of the full evidence. This volume makes a signal scholarly contribution toward that end.
