| Summary: | Now that all the Dead Sea Scrolls have been published in the authoritative Discoveries in the Judaean Desert series, it is an appropriate time to take stock. Many lay readers remain intrigued by these scrolls and are looking for a sober description of what they are, their historical and religious context, and an assessment of what may sensibly be learned from them. Equally, scholars find it helpful to have such a complete summary that includes facets of the subject on which they may not be specialists in order to know how to take forward their research in the light of the full corpus of manuscripts. The time therefore seems just right for the publication of an Oxford Handbook., Following the editors’ Introduction, the volume is divided into eight parts with a total of 30 contributors. |
