The Scrolls and Biblical Traditions: Proceedings of the Seventh Meeting of the IOQS in Helsinki

by George J. Brooke (Editor), Daniel K. Falk (Editor)

Overview

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.
