Beschreibung
The second edition of this fascinating book is the ideal introduction to the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls from Qumran and their impact on our understanding of the rise of Christianity. * * Introduces the Qumran Scrolls to the uninitiated general reader. * Explains how revolutionary the discovery of the Scrolls was and their enduring significance. * Sets the Scrolls within the wider context of Jewish history and religion of the second temple period. * Now expanded to include additional material about the scrolls themselves and recent theories about the community behind them. This book is not available from Blackwell in the United States and the Philippines.
Rezensionen
"The new edition is somewhat expanded and brought up to date. The success and usefulness of Campbell's introduction is further demonstrated in a Polish translation of the work."
Praise for the First Edition:
"Without being sensational, of all the popular introductions on the market this one explains best how revolutionary the discovery of the Scrolls really was."
"In Deciphering the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jonathan Campbell, an established expert on Qumran, has written for students and the general reader a clear, well researched, balanced and highly informative account of the discovery of the Scrolls, the debates surrounding them, and their significance for a better understanding of ancient Judaism and the beginnings of Christianity."
