A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This volume gives examples how the early texts attested in the Dead Sea Scrolls help to understand individual biblical books and how the later texts among them illustrate Jewish life and law when the canon of the Hebrew Bible evolved. Until recently, most non-biblical manuscripts attested in the Qumran library were regarded as copies of texts that were composed after the books of the Hebrew Bible were written. Students of the Hebrew Bible found the Dead Sea Scrolls therefore mostly of interest for the textual and interpretative histories of these books. The present collection confirms the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls for both areas, by showing that they have revolutionized our understanding of how the text of the biblical books developed, how they were interpreted and how they illustrate ancient Jewish life and law.

Revue de presse :

[Sidnie White Crawford] not only critically reviews current theories on the development of the Hebrew Bible...but also pushes forward their most valuable insights by envisaging a 'free' and 'conservative' approach among the scribes. -- H. Debel, ETL (89/1, 2013) ...this volume constitutes a faithful guide to a period important in the history of the Bible. Students of the OT and NT, as well as Second Temple Judaism, will benefit from this important volume, which offers a comprehensive, state of the art discussion of the Qumran evidence for the texts that were soon to become the biblical canon." --Mark W. Hamilton, Restoration Quarterly 57:3 (2015)
