Abstract
Milik’s Ten Years of Discovery in the Judean Wilderness (1957) is not accurately titled. Although Milik spends the first two chapters discussing the discoveries and the texts of the Qumran library, the remainder of the book is in large part a history of the Essenes. Milik utilized the Qumran writings, classical authors, Josephus, and archaeological evidence to define the parameters of Essenism. Milik was one of the early advocates of the Essene Hypothesis, identifying the Essenes with the inhabitants of Qumran. Milik suggests that the final phase of the Essene community had militant zealot characteristics. Even though this text was written in the early phases of Qumran studies, it contains valuable insight into the character and history of Essenism.
