Books in the Companion to the Qumran Scrolls S. series

A roadmap to the Temple Scroll, one of the manuscripts from Qumran.

Provides an introduction to 8 sectarian manuscripts from among the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls that can loosely be called the "Exegetical Texts". This book examines their contents, background, genre, and significance and provides a history of the relevant research. It constitutes a diverse strand of sectarian compositions among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The biblical commentaries from Qumran (the Pesharim) are well known, but the voluminous scholarship can appear daunting and the exegesis challenging. In this user-friendly textbook, the reader is introduced to basic and less obvious features of Qumran exegeses.
