The Dead Sea Scrolls, Volume 5b: Qumran Greek Fragments, Hymns, Prayers, and Related Documents

This volume significantly helps us understand Jewish interpretations of Torah, preoccupations with purity, penchants for creating new prayers, the need to bless the Creator at all times, the sacredness of the land, eschatology, and celebrating the importance of the Creator "God" and "Israel." Eldon J. Epp and Larry Hurtado provide the Qumran Greek Fragments. Almost all of the volume is the work of James Charlesworth with Lea Berkuz, but contributions by Daniel Gurtner, Blake Jurgens, and one contribution each by Jolyon Pruszinski and B. Allen complete the volume. Henry Rietz and Loren Johns served as Associate Editors.
