Hardback. Condizione: Good. The definitive introduction to the Dead Sea Scrolls by two of the most prominent scholars in the field, The Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls teaches both students of religion and lay readers all they need to know about the Scrolls and their significance for understanding ancient Judaism, Jesus, and the origins of Christianity. One of the great archaeological finds, the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947. They are a treasure trove of unique texts created by the Essene community of Qumran, including the earliest manuscripts of every book in the Hebrew Bible, except for Esther. These writings are a vital key to understanding a world that would soon split into rabbinic Judaism on the one hand and Christianity on the other. James VanderKam is John A. O'Brien Professor of Hebrew Scriptures in the Department of Theology at Notre Dame; he is author of The Dead Sea Scrolls Today.Peter Flint is co-director of the Dead Sea Scrolls Institute at Trinity Western University in British Columbia and coeditor of The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible.Emanuel Tov is Director of the Dead Sea Scrolls Project and lives in Jerusalem."Two of the world's most eminent Dead Sea Scroll scholars have collaborated to produce a comprehensive, detailed but readable account of what the scrolls really say, judiciously considering a wide variety of views including those they disagree with. There is almost nothing they haven't read and studied and considered. Their description of the controversies surrounding the publication of the scrolls is alone worth the price of the book."- Herschel Shanks, Editor, Biblical Archaeology Review.…
