The Dead Sea Scrolls are one of the most important archaeological
discoveries of the last century. They have great historical,
religious, and linguistic significance, not least in relation to
the transmission of many of the books which came to be included in
the Hebrew Bible. This companion comprises over 70 articles,
exploring the entire body of the key texts and documents labelled
as Dead Sea Scrolls. Beginning with a section on the complex
methods used in discovering, archiving and analysing the Scrolls,
the focus moves to consideration of the Scrolls in their various
contexts: political, religious, cultural, economic and historical.
The genres ascribed to groups of texts within the Scrolls-
including exegesis and interpretation, poetry and hymns, and
liturgical texts - are then examined, with due attention given to
both past and present scholarship. The main body of the Companion
concludes with crucial issues and topics discussed by leading
scholars. Complemented by extensive appendices and indexes, this
Companion provides the ideal resource for those seriously engaging
with the Dead Sea Scrolls.
