NO OF PAGES: 338 SUB CAT I: Dead Sea Scrolls SUB CAT II: Commentary SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: The Eerdmans Commentaries on the Dead Sea Scrolls series marks a milestone in Scrolls studies. This book is the first of sixteen volumes in the ECDSS series. This book begins with a general introduction to the Qumran library and Jewish liturgical traditions. Davila then provides an introduction, translation, notes on the original Hebrew, and line-by-line commentary for each of the Qumran liturgical works. Davila's excellent translation work combines overlapping fragmentary manuscripts into a single, smoothly flowing text, and his commentary includes numerous fresh insights and observations on these writings. Giving full attention to parallel texts found in the Hebrew Bible and other Jewish and Christian writings through late antiquity, Davila firmly situates the Qumran liturgical works in their historical context, Second Temple Judaism, and discusses their significance as background to the Jewish liturgy, Jewish mysticism, and Christian origins.NOTES: Purchased at the DSS held at Beit Hallel Oct. 29, 2001 SUBTITLE: Eerdmans Commentaries on the Dead Sea Scrolls… (mais)
