Co-published with Brill, this is a reprint edition of a two-volume set (v.1, 1997; v.2, 1998) which facilitates access to the Qumran collection of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It contains Hebrew and Aramaic transcriptions and English translations of the nonbiblical scrolls on facing pages, arranged by serial number from Cave 1 to Cave 11. In addition, it offers a summary of the contents of the biblical scrolls from Qumran. Each Q-number contains a heading with the important information on the text and selected bibliographical references. The transcriptions were made by the authors, Martínez (head of Qumran Institute and member of the International Team of Editors of the Dead Sea Scrolls publication project) and Tigchelaar (KNAW Academy Fellow at the Qumran Institute). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR Currents in Theology & Mission Will serve students and scholars well as the most complete, easily accessible texts of the Qumran manuscripts.... This edition belongs in the library of every New Testament student and on the shelves of every college, university, and seminary library. It deserves wide use, even by general readers. Nothing illuminates more than the reading of original texts. The two editors, both at the Qumran Institute at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, deserve thanks for an immensely helpful edition.
