Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Discover the Ancient Scrolls That Changed Our Understanding of ScriptureWhat if some of the oldest surviving biblical manuscripts were hidden for nearly two thousand years in caves beside the Dead Sea?In 1947, a seemingly ordinary discovery in the Judean Desert opened the door to one of the most extraordinary archaeological and manuscript discoveries of the modern era. The Dead Sea Scrolls would reveal ancient biblical texts, Jewish traditions, sectarian writings, and forgotten works that offered an unprecedented glimpse into the religious world surrounding the Bible.Explore the Ancient Library of QumranInside the scrolls lies a fascinating collection of ancient writings.You will discover: - Ancient biblical manuscripts and their textual variations- The Great Isaiah Scroll and its significance- Apocryphal and pseudepigraphical writings- The Book of Jubilees and Book of Enoch- The Community Rule and the War Scroll- Ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts- Evidence used to date and authenticate the texts- The religious beliefs and practices of the Qumran communityRather than simply listing discoveries, this book explores why they matter and what they reveal about the history and transmission of Scripture.What Do the Scrolls Reveal About the Bible and Early Christianity?Perhaps the most fascinating question is what these ancient manuscripts mean for our understanding of Scripture.The scrolls reveal a world in which biblical texts existed within multiple textual traditions and demonstrate the complexity of ancient Scripture transmission. They also provide valuable context for understanding Second Temple Judaism, the religious environment of Jesus, and the world surrounding the earliest Christians.You will explore connections and differences involving subjects such as messianic expectations, ritual purity, baptism, covenant, resurrection, and apocalyptic thought-while discovering why scholars continue to debate the relationship between Qumran and early Christianity.Open the Caves and Discover What Was HiddenThe Dead Sea Scrolls are more than ancient pieces of parchment.They are windows into a world that existed before the destruction of Jerusalem-a world of competing Jewish traditions, messianic hopes, sacred texts, ritual practices, and apocalyptic expectations.Open this book and journey into the caves of Qumran. Discover the people, texts, mysteries, and discoveries that continue to transform our understanding of the Bible and its ancient world.
