Review: QUMRAN: AS SADDUCEE GOVERNED SPIRITUAL TEMPLE - QUMRAN: AS SADDUCEE GOVERNED SPIRITUAL TEMPLE Regardless of your starting-point: Christian, Judaic, or Secular; you will appreciate the objective treatment of the scrolls by these three scholars. I personally was interested in the Qumran-authored scrolls that would give me insight into the community itself. I read the following sections: Introduction pp. 1-38 This introduction gives the reader a close look at the 200 year span from 100 BCE to 100 CE; a great exposition of the Hasmonean and Herodian dynasties. Absolutely essential material. Damascus scroll pp. 49-59 EXHORTATION SECTION: This material introduces us to the “man-of-mockery” & the “teacher-of-righteousness”, which illustrates the underlying convictions that guided the commune. RULES OF CONDUCT SECTION: very informative for understanding the early Judaic rules of the Sabbath. There are additional practical rules in the section pp. 70-84. Habakkuk scroll pp. 114-124 Extremely important for understanding the sect. Through re-interpreting the 6th century BCE document of Scripture; especially the Nebuchadnezzar threat, and applying it to their own threatened relationship to queen Salome’s preference for Pharisee governship of the temple. Charter scroll pp. 123-133 A fully-recovered scroll that was not in fragments. It gives us an excellent look “inside” Qumran and is essential reading. It also gives a look at their “angel-theology” & “rite-of-initiation” Nahum scroll of cave four pp. 215-225 Considered by the authors as the “key” scroll for understanding the community at Qumran. You’ll do best to read this section, with your bible open to Nahum. The references are specific. It, of course concludes with an enlarged “judgment” section. Today there are many Dead Sea scroll offerings and It could get difficult selecting one that treats the scrolls objectively. My HONEST IMPRESSION is that this volume is very objective and fair to the material researched. I strongly recommend it. You will be enriched by the journey. 5 stars for not jumping to the overly-simplistic Essene theory; and for giving us honest in-depth scholarship. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #50,461 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #11 in Dead Sea Scrolls Church History #30 in History of Judaism #116 in Christian Bible Apocrypha & Pseudepigrapha | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (916) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1.72 x 9 inches | | Edition | Revised | | ISBN-10 | 006076662X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0060766627 | | Item Weight | 1.6 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 688 pages | | Publication date | October 25, 2005 | | Publisher | HarperSanFrancisco | ## Images ![The Dead Sea Scrolls: A New Translation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Sev21y9kL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dead Sea Scrolls: A New Translation – A Standout, Accessible Edition *by T***N on February 2, 2026* This translation is one of the best I’ve encountered.
