T&T Clark Companion to the Dead Sea Scrolls by George J Brooke
All of the key texts and documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls are examined, methods used to analyse the scrolls are discussed, and they are considered in their various contexts; political, religious, cultural, economic, and historical. The volume concludes with a look at the crucial issues and topics discussed by leading scholars.
Remarkable for its breadth and substantial treatment of the history and current state of scholarship in Qumran studies.. An indispensable resource for library collections and any individual scholar whose work touches on the texts discovered in the Judean desert. * Journal of Jewish Studies *
The Companion to the Dead Sea Scrolls is innovative in its approach as it explores categories of information that have not been covered in the past, with regard to both individual compositions and new areas of research. The editors have succeeded in bringing together a young team of eminent expert scholars who present the state-of-the-art results of modern scholarship for the beginning student and experienced scholar alike. * Emanuel Tov, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel *
‘This superb new volume on the Dead Sea Scrolls will be a vital resource for scholars in the field. In addition to containing the usual overview articles, the Companion contains short treatments of over thirty of the major texts. The authors, who include scholars from Britain and other European countries, Israel, and North America, are all experts in the field. The T&T Clark Companion is a “must-have” for any serious Dead Sea Scrolls scholar. * Sidnie White Crawford, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA *
