| Summary: | This rich collection by one of the foremost scholars of biblical interpretation in the Dead Sea Scrolls contains thirty previously published essays, prefaced by Introductions to each volume that outline the essays they preface but also include further reflection on Bernstein's ongoing scholarly journey. The first and last essays present wide-ranging treatments on Pentateuchal and biblical interpretation in the Dead Sea Scrolls originally presented at two congresses in Jerusalem marking the 50th and 60th anniversary of the discoveries. In parallel with Second Temple interpreters, Bernstein devotes the bulk of his attention, and Vol. 1, to the Book of Genesis. |
