The Dead Sea Scrolls from Qumran provide the oldest, best, and most
direct witness we have to the origins of the Hebrew Bible. Prior to
the discovery of the Scrolls, scholars had textual evidence for
only a single, late period in the history of the biblical text,
leading them to believe that the text was uniform. The Scrolls,
however, provide documentary evidence a thousand years older than
all previously known Hebrew manuscripts and reveal a period of
pluriformity in the biblical text prior to the stage of uniformity.
In this important collection of studies, Eugene Ulrich, one of
the world's foremost experts on the Dead Sea Scrolls, outlines a
comprehensive theory that reconstructs the complex development of
the ancient texts that eventually came to form the Old Testament.
Several of the essays set forth his pioneering theory of "multiple
literary editions," which is replacing older views of the origins
of the biblical text.
"The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Origins of the Bible" represents
the leading edge of research in the exciting field of Scrolls
studies.
