Reihe: Studies on the Texts of the Desert of Judah

Recent Dead Sea Scrolls research pays much attention to the question which texts were seen as scriptures, in which forms scriptures as well as scriptural traditions were transmitted, how the scrolls can illuminate the gradual move from authoritative scriptural texts to canon, and which different kinds of scriptural interpretation are attested in the Dead Sea Scrolls. This volume contains twelve essays read at the seventh meeting of the International Organization for Qumran Studies that address these questions either broadly, or in relation to specific texts.

Zielgruppe

All interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls, or, more generally, in the early transmission, canonization, and interpretation of the Hebrew scriptures.
