Fifty years after the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls there have
been many advances in the field of Qumran Studies. Yet much work
remains undone. In particular the study of the scrolls has
continued to follow long established historical critical methods
while largely falling to incorporate recent advances in literary,
ideological and sociological approaches. The essays collected here
are the result of the Bristol Colloquium on the Dead Sea Scrolls
held in September 2003. Here, ten scholars working in a diversity
of areas demonstrate how these recent advances in scholarship
increase our knowledge of the scrolls, their historical context,
and their impact on modern critical scholarship. The contributors
consider a wide range of approaches, ranging across discussions in
sociology, anthropology, literary studies, post-colonialism and
ideological criticism. These essays will help to take Qumran
Studies forward in new and creative ways. This is volume 52 in the
Library of Second Temple Studies series (formerly the Journal for
the Study of the Pseudepigrapha Supplement series).
