The War Texts is the name given to a small group of Dead Sea
Scrolls that depict the preparation for and the various phases of
the eschatological battle between the 'Sons of Light' and the 'Sons
of Darkness'. Jean Duhaime briefly surveys the history of these
texts from their initial discovery to their official publication.
He describes the different scrolls and gives details of their
contents and their relationships to one another. Duhaime summarizes
the various reasons supporting a dating of this composition to the
Hellenistic or Roman period and provides an example of the use of
the Bible in the War Texts. The contributors to the Companion to
the Qumran Scrolls series take account of all relevant and recently
published texts and provide extensive bibliographies. The books in
the series are authoritatively written in accessible language and
are ideal for students and non-specialist scholars. Companion to
the Qumran Scrolls, 6
