商品簡介
Two volumes present papers from a conference co-sponsored by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Vienna, held February 2008. From the introduction to the second volume: "While the first volume focused mainly on methodological, linguistic, and literary topics, the second volume is concerned with questions of material culture, political, cultural, and religious history, as well as the non-Jewish cultural and religious environments of the Dead Sea Scrolls." The editors conclude that the Dead Sea Scrolls shed new light on and can be best understood in the context of "...Second Temple and rabbinic Judaism as well as early Christianity and the eastern Mediterranean and ancient Near Eastern cultures surrounding them." Fifty contributions address these themes. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
