The publication of this collection of articles on Qumran Messianism
by a team of international scholars marks the 50th anniversary of
the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947. The authors offer a
new approach to the messianic expectations expressed in the Qumran
literature by incorporating also those texts and fragments which
have been available only since 1992 and by understanding them
within the context of ancient Judaism and early Christianity. Most
of the contributions originate from the Seminar on 'Qumran and
Early Christianity' of the 'Societas Novi Testamenti Studiorum' of
the past few years chaired by James Charlesworth and Hermann
Lichtenberger. The present volume therefore stands at the very
front of the academic discussion on the relation between ancient
Judaism and early Christianity by concentrating on some of their
central religious concepts: the messianic figures and latterday
expectations as expressed in the Qumran writings.
