Abstract

"This volume offers an introduction to the history, life and works of the Qumran community, as well as to the contemporary study of the Qumran yahad and the origins of Christianity. Several relevant aspects of the theology inherent the Qumran Scrolls (mainly Messianic and purity issues) are also analyzed in some depth by the authors. It is interesting to note, on the other hand, that an anticipation of what has later come to be known as the "Groningen Hypothesis" concerning the prehistory and sectarian nature of the Qumran community (on which see Florentino García Martínez, "Qumran Origins and Early History: A Groningen Hypothesis," Folia Orientalia 25 [1988] 113-36; idem, and Adam S. van der Woude, "A Groningen Hypothesis of Qumran Origins and Early History," Revue de Qumrân 14 [1990] 522-41) was already suggested by Florentino García Martínez, as early as 1985-87, in a lecture, included in pages 91-117 of the present volume, offered by him at the Second Spanish Biblical Symposium held in Córdoba (Spain) in 1985, the proceedings of which were published in 1987 (II Simposio Bíblico Español, ed. V. Collado Bartomeu and V. Vilar Hueso [Valencia/Córdoba: Fundación Bíblica Española, 1987])."-- Carlos A. Segovia, Camilo José Cela University

"This book, written jointly by two distinguished Qumran scholars, attempts to provide answers to some important questions that have been discussed recently in media reports on the Dead Sea Scrolls, such as: have certain manuscripts been suppressed?; do the manuscripts question substantial aspects of the Jewish and Christian traditions?; do the roots of Early Christianity derive from the Essene movement?; and more ... This volume offers solid and up-to-date information on the literary heritage, the social organization and the religious beliefs of the Qumran community and its links with Early Christianity. It gives the reader an opportunity to look behind the scenes of the research of the Dead Sea texts and the ongoing scholarly debate on the origins of the Essene movement and the Qumran sect."--Publisher description (English ed.)

"Questo libro offre un'informazione solida e aggiornata sulla produzione letteraria, l'organizzazione sociale e le concezioni religiose degli esseni di Qumran. Alcuni capitoli introducono alla fucina della ricerca scientifica sul sito di Qumran, i suoi scritti e gli uomini che lo abitavano. Entrambi membri del Comitato internazionale di edizione dei manoscritti del Mar Morto, gli autori danno una risposta documentata e di prima mano ai problemi che certa stampa recente ha presentato con toni sensazionalistici: i manoscritti di Qumran sono stati in parte tenuti nascosti? toccano forse aspetti fondamentali della tradizione giudaica e cristiana? il cristianesimo primitivo altro non era che una forma di essenismo? Al problema dei rapporti tra essenismo e cristianesimo in particolare è dedicata un'intera parte dell'opera, esemplare per l'approfondimento dei dati disponibili e la chiarezza espositiva."--Publisher description (Italian ed.)
