Rediscovering the Dead Sea Scrolls: An Assessment of Old and New Approaches and Methods

By Maxine L. Grossman

Book Overview

Tools for Our Work introduces readers to a wide range of established and experimental treatments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, including paleography, archaeology, manuscript analysis, and a variety of literary, historical, and social scientific approaches.

Written by experts in Dead Sea Scrolls studies, these essays -- while each able to stand on their own as state-of-the-field discussions -- together provide a vibrant intersectional picture of scrolls studies on the cusp of its seventh decade.
