"The Dead Sea Scrolls" reveal a Palestinian form of Second Temple
Judaism in which the seeds of Johannine Christianity may have first
sprouted. Although many texts from the Judean Desert are now widely
available, the Scrolls have had little part in discussions of the
Johannine literature over the past several decades. The essays in
this book, ranging from focused studies of key passages in the
"Fourth Gospel" to its broader social world, consider the past and
potential impact of the Scrolls on Johannine studies in the context
of a growing interest in the historical roots of the Johannine
tradition and the origins and nature of the "Johannine community"
and its relationship to mainstream Judaism. Future scholarship will
be interested in connections between "The Gospel of John" and "The
Scrolls" and also in Qumran Judaism and Johannine Christianity as
parallel religious movements. The contributors are Mary L. Coloe
and Tom Thatcher, Eileen Schuller, Paul N. Anderson, John Ashton,
George J. Brooke, Brian J. Capper, Hannah K. Harrington, Loren T.
Stuckenbruck, and James H. Charlesworth.
