Description
The Community Rule is an important document to emerge from Qumran. For fifty years after its discovery scholars relied predominantly on the well-preserved Cave 1 copy. Since the early 1990s, ten additional copies have become available. This is the first commentary to treat all the manuscript and the first in English since A. R. C. Leaney's in 1966.
