About the Author
James H. Charlesworth is George L. Collord Professor of New Testament Language and Literature at Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, New Jersey, and a world-renowned translator, particularly of pseudepigraphical material.
From Library Journal
Neither the recent excitement over the Dead Sea Scrolls nor the flow of books--scholarly and popular--on their impact show signs of abating. Some of these books are primarily sensationalistic, while others represent sound scholarship. This book is among the latter. Editor Charlesworth has established himself as a careful scholar, especially in the area of early Jewish and Christian studies. Bringing together a dozen essays (including three of his own) on the influence, of the Essenes on Jesus of Nazareth, he presents a critical review of the major similarities and differences between the Essenes and Jesus. Among the intriguing suggestions is that, contrary to prevailing opinion, Jesus did address or allude to the teachings and practices of the Essenes. The contributors generally express such nontraditional ideas cautiously, since there is much work yet to be done on the Scrolls. Still, this is a solid contribution to the current debate that will inform and challenge both scholars and lay readers. For academic and large public libraries.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - FOREWORD -- Qumran Scrolls and a Critical Consensus -- Journalists have announced a crisis in the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls. They have published sensational articles in major newspapers, magazines, periodicals, and even a book. Obviously journalists are trained to feature what is exceptional, controversial, and new; but have they not been unusually guilty of superficial thoughts and hurried conclusions? -- Readers of these features have been arrested by the scandalous and have often wondered out loud, "What is going on?" Have the wild claims made of some research specialists and published by journalists in the media shaken the consensus among scholars, or is there any consensus?
