The Qumran Community Hardback
by Michael A. Knibb
Part of the Cambridge Commentaries on Writings of the Jewish and Christian World series
Hardback
Description
This book provides a new translation of substantial extracts from the Qumran writings, which comprise an important part of the Dead Sea scrolls.
The writings reflect the beliefs and practices of a religious community which existed on the shores of the Dead Sea between the middle of the second century BC and AD 68.
They shed considerable light on the Essenes, whose movement had an important focus at Qumran.
In addition to selecting the most significant legislative, poetic and liturgical writings, Professor Knibb provides a commentary dealing with major interpretative problems raised by the extracts.
