| ==Abstract==
| |
| Schiffman’s ''Reclaiming the Dead Sea Scrolls'' is perhaps most noteworthy for its insistence that non-Jewish scholars hijacked the scrolls, slowing down the publication process, whereas Qumran scholarship (and its readers) would be much better off if Jewish scholars, who spoke, wrote, and understood Hebrew, took over the responsibilities for translating, publishing and analyzing the scrolls. Schiffman presents his unique thesis that the Qumran community was comprised of schismatic Sadducees, who brought many of the scrolls to the community.
