Book Summary
A reference tool of vital importance, this volume offers state-of-the-art presentations of Dead Sea Scrolls prayers, psalms, and other texts possibly used in the Qumran community worship. Not only does this book shed light onto resources for early Jewish worship, but it presents the full critical text of several non-Masoretic psalms and the Angelic Liturgy, offering deep insights into the liturgical aspects of early Judaism. With this series, Westminster John Knox Press, in collaboration with J.C.B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck), presents the most-up-to-date and comprehensive presentation of the sectarian Dead Sea Scrolls. The project is under the direction of James H. Charlesworth and includes the participation of virtually every notable scholar in the field today. The texts are being prepared with the benefit of advanced computer technology, thereby frequently yielding more accurate readings than previous publications. Many documents with multiple witnesses will receive a critical apparatus for the first time. All nonbiblical texts found at Qumran will be included.
