The Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Volume Two: The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Qumran Community: The Second Princeton Symposium on Judaism and Christian Origins

The recovery of 800 documents in the 11 caves on the northwest shores of the Dead Sea is one of the most sensational archeological discoveries to date. The volumes in The Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls, the very best of critical scholarship, demonstrate in detail how the scrolls have revolutionized our knowledge of the text of the Bible, the character of Second Temple Judaism, and the Jewish beginnings of Christianity. In addition to unearthing historical and theological background to the Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls are the most important discovery for studying the textual history of the Old Testament.
