Editorial Reviews

Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter
"This book presents important articles by outstanding scholars. . . This excellent book, aimed at a scholarly audience, ends as it begins: with fruitful and original insights about the Bible and intertextuality."

John J. Collins
"The Dead Sea Scrolls have revolutionized our understanding of the formation of the biblical canon and filled in a missing chapter in the history of interpretation. This volume provides an accessible and authoritative account of the state of the question on the formation of the canon, and it nicely illustrates the kind of biblical interpretation found in the Scrolls and related literature. An excellent book for classroom use."

James H. Charlesworth
"For almost 2000 years Christians and Jews shared a common base for translating the Hebrew scriptures into modern languages. Now, with the discovery of copies of Old Testament books that predate Jesus, the situation has changed: with some books, especially the books of Samuel and Jeremiah, Hebrew texts are available for the first time in markedly different versions. What does one do now about translating 'scripture' for synagogue or church? Equally important is the issue of interpretation, and it is imperative to observe, sometimes for the first time, how early Jews interpreted the books that Christians cherish as scripture. In this new volume, now available thanks to one of our best publishers of books about the Bible, some leading experts share their insights into these difficult issues."

Southwestern Journal of Theology
"These are serious and constructive pieces that will illumine and advance the ongoing study of the Dead Sea Scrolls."
