More about the book

The book presents a fresh analysis of the Dead Sea Scrolls, arguing that the sect associated with them originated later than previously believed and was not limited to Qumran. John J. Collins deconstructs the concept of "the Qumran community," suggesting that the sectarian documents reflect a broader movement throughout the region. He explores key texts like the Community Rule and the significance of the Teacher of Righteousness within the Essene movement, ultimately concluding that Qumran was just one settlement of a much larger community.
