Los hombres de Qumrán: Literatura, estructura social y concepciones religiosas (1993) is a book by Florentino García Martínez and Julio Trebolle Barrera.

Abstract

This volume constitutes the earliest and indeed a quite extensive 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, available in Spanish. 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, University of Seville
