John J. Collins and Robert A. Kugler (eds.), Religion in the Dead Sea Scrolls (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 2000).
Abstract
"The Dead Sea Scrolls have profoundly changed the way we think about the Bible. But what is the religion found in the Scrolls themselves? This book provides a much-needed assessment of several major aspects of the religion of the Dead Sea Scrolls in light of recent publications. Eight leading experts explore the concept of divinity in the Scrolls, the Scrolls' relation to important halakic issues, the question of Hellenistic influence in the Scrolls, and the apocalypticism and messianism specific to the Scrolls."--Publisher description.
