This is truly a demonstration of the dynamism of modern Qumran scholarship. Deborah Rooke, JSOT 2013 This collection testifies to a tendency in current scholarship (an admirable one, in my opinion) to embrace that complexity, to resist easy answers and to tolerate uncertainty. As such, the studies included here raise issues and model approaches that will continue to shape study of the Scrolls for years to come. Molly Zahn, DSD This volume will provide scholars with a new vantage point from which to consider the corpus of texts from Qumran. Its strength lies firstly, in opening new material and textual areas for further discussion, and secondly, in challenging several of the existing assumptions that potentially distort, or oversimplify, the complexity of the scrolls and their origins. It is also set to become a much-cited resource in refining the more general, impressions of the texts and their provenance. Shani Tzoref, Strata The authors make for a veritable who's who in the world of Qumran scholars [...] This volume contains excellent articles that provide stimulating reflections on earlier phases in Qumran scholarship and also offer new insights that significantly contribute to advancing the field.</i?
