About The Dead Sea Scrolls: A New TranslationThe Dead Sea Scrolls represent the most important find of the 20th century for understanding the history of the Middle East in the centuries surrounding the birth of Christ. The scrolls provide an intimate link to the culture and background of Israel and Palestine with huge implications for understanding the political situation of the first century and gaining a picture of the relationship between Judaism and early Christianity. Reading the scrolls themselves demonstrates important cultural, theological, and conceptual connections between the Judaism and the New Testament authors. The Dead Sea Scrolls: A New Translation presents a fully revised edition of Michael Wise, Martin Abegg, Jr. and Edward Cook’s translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Between the first edition and this revised edition, numerous volumes of new texts have been published. The “official” scholarly edition of the Scrolls, Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, has gone from having ten published volumes in 1996 to thirty-nine published volumes in 2005. With all of the texts finally available, this new edition provides fresh and updated translations of the many scrolls that have been published since the first edition. |
