Dualism in Qumran (2010) is a volume edited by Géza G. Xeravits.
Abstract
"The importance of dualistic thinking within the material of the Dead Sea Scrolls had already been emphasised in the very beginning of Qumran Studies. Nevertheless, in the last two decades the research on Qumran dualism seems to be outside the centre of scholarly interest. The main result of contemporary research is to support the conviction that one cannot postulate compelling doctrines in the “theology of Qumran”—the group did not want to develop a sophisticated doctrinal system; rather, they collected and mediated various aspects of the theology of their times without so much as being champions of several infallible dogmas. Since virtually all the Qumran material has been published, it is now time to evaluate several oft-debated topics of scholarly research. The theme of “dualism in Qumran” is one of those areas that needs fresh investigation. The contributors of the present volume begin this work and open up new fields that might stimulate further reflection on the problem. Some of the issues that join the contributions of the present volume: the origin of Qumran’s dualism; the literary growth of the passages in question; and the social/ideological setting of the dualistic passages within the Qumran Library."--Publisher description.
