Major changes are occurring in our understanding of the fascinating
texts of the Dead Sea Scrolls and their significance for the study
of the history of Judaism and Christianity. One of the most
significant changes -- that one cannot study Qumran without
Jerusalem nor Jerusalem without Qumran -- is explored in this
important volume. Although the Scrolls preserve the peculiar
ideology of the Qumran sect, much of the material also represents
the common beliefs and practices of the Judaism of the time. Here
Lawrence Schiff man mines these incredible documents to reveal
their significance for the reconstruction of the history of
Judaism. His investigation brings to life a period of immense
significance for the history of the Western world. Though many of
the essays here have been previously published, all have been
substantially revised. The resulting volume offers a comprehensive
study that is understandable to a far wider audience than are many
works on the Scrolls.
