About the Book

This landmark reference work is the first of its kind. Featuring 450 articles by an international community of scholars it is the definitive account of what we know about the Dead Sea Scrolls--their history, relevance, meaning, and the controversies that surround them. Discovered in 1947 by a Bedouin shepherd, the collection of 800 manuscripts is older than any other collection of manuscripts of the Hebrew Scriptures by almost one thousand years. What do the scrolls tell us about the people who wrote them? What do they tell us about early Christianity and Second Temple Judaism? How do they confirm or contradict what we thought we knew about the Bible? With contributions from 100 distinguished scholars representing diverse traditions and fields of learning, this volume offers the most comprehensive critical synthesis of current knowledge about the Dead Sea Scrolls--and their historical, archaeological, linguistic, and religious contexts. Written in non-technical language this reference work provides authoritative answers and information for all readers.

Review :
"The content of this new resource is wholly unique. These texts require the reexamination of the history of Judaism and Christianity as well as the sources upon which those histories have been based, something that other encyclopedias of Judaism, Christianity, the Bible, and Near Eastern archaeology do not provide.... Highly recommended for large public and academic libraries serving interest in Judaism, Christianity, biblical studies, and archaeology."--RBB/Booklist "...this volume promises to be a necessary part of academic collections and should be considered for larger public libraries as well."--Library Journal "This work is the most comprehensive study of the Judean Desert texts to date...The standard reference on the subject for academic and public libraries."--Choice "...an indispensable reference work...enjoyable to read straight through."--America "...this book will be invaluable to scholars and students. Given the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls to several fields in the humanities, no good library should be without a copy."--Religious Studies Review "This reference set is highly recommended."--Church and Synagogue Libraries "This unique reference work of scholarship brings together the most comprehensive, up-to-date summaries of research...Written in an easily readable format ...This Encyclopedia is a synthesis of a tremendous amount of material and provides an exciting treasure hunt into the ever-intriguing mystery of the Dead Sea Scrolls."--The Jerusalem Post "The content of this new resource is wholly unique. These texts require the reexamination of the history of Judaism and Christianity as well as the sources upon which those histories have been based, something that other encyclopedias of Judaism, Christianity, the Bible, and Near Eastern archaeology do not provide.... Highly recommended for large public and academic libraries serving interest in Judaism, Christianity, biblical studies, and archaeology."--RBB/Booklist "...this volume promises to be a necessary part of academic collections and should be considered for larger public libraries as well."--Library Journal "This work is the most comprehensive study of the Judean Desert texts to date...The standard reference on the subject for academic and public libraries."--Choice "...an indispensable reference work...enjoyable to read straight through."--America
