About this title

Synopsis

One of the world's foremost experts on the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Qumran community that produced them provides an authoritative new English translation of the two hundred longest and most important nonbiblical Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran, along with an introduction to the history of the discovery and publication of each manuscript and the background necessary for placing each manuscript in its actual historical context.

Reviews

Saunders and Campbell (New Testament and homiletics, respectively, Columbia Theological Seminary, Dacatur, GA) recount and reflect on their and their students' involvement in Atlanta's Open Door Community, which ministers to Atlanta's homeless, especially in the area of Ponce de Leon street. The book is obviously a call to Christians to put their faith into practice, to, as they put it, perform the Scriptures. Not only exhortative, the book is highly informative. One learns, for example, exactly what a day is like for day laborers living in shelters and what it is like to live on the streets in cities where homelessness is increasingly considered a crime. Attention should also be called to the excellent art work, which is specifically related to the text. Highly recommended for appropriate religion collections and for social science collections as well.DJohn Moryl, Yeshiva Univ. Lib., NY
