This book challenges scholars' assumption, without any explicit
evidence, of institutionalized public prayer with fixed contents
and times in the Qumran community. As the book observes, this
assumption rests in part on a failure to distinguish between
voluntary supplication prayers and biblically mandated blessings
and thanks. The book closely examines the three Qumran writings
assumed to typify prayer and critiques scholars' attempts to deduce
the existence of public prayer from these and other sources, which
are most likely pious expressions of individual authors. The lack
of indispensable instructions for institutionalized prayer offers
circumstantial evidence that such prayer was not practiced at
Qumran. This study also explores the assumption that Qumran prayer
was intended as a substitute for sacrifices after the group's
separation from the temple cult and discusses relevant rabbinic
statements. The innovative character of rabbinic fixed prayer is
discussed and identified as an element of the fundamental
transformation of Jewish theology and practice from worship founded
on sacrificial rituals performed by priests at the Jerusalem Temple
to abstract, unmediated, direct approaches to God by every Jew in
any location. The book also examines Samaritan prayer and detects a
variety of attitudes, rules, and customs similar to those found at
Qumran that are incompatible with their rabbinic counterparts. This
opens the door for investigating religious belief and practice at a
crucial period in the history of Western civilization, namely,
before the vast rabbinic reform of Judaism after 70 CE.
