The biblical manuscripts found at Qumran, contends Sidnie White
Crawford, reflect a spectrum of text movement from authoritative
scriptural traditions to completely new compositions. Treating six
major groups of texts, she shows how differences in the texts
result from a particular understanding of the work of the scribe -
not merely to copy but also to interpret, update, and make relevant
the Scripture for the contemporary Jewish community of the time.
This scribal practice led to texts that were "rewritten" or
"reworked" and considered no less important or accurate than the
originals.
Propounding a new theory of how these texts cohere as a group,
Crawford offers an original and provocative work for readers
interested in the Second Temple period.
