"In the light of recent changes in Dead Sea Scrolls research, a conference was organized in April of 1993 to discuss the current state of affairs. This collection of the papers from the conference covers topics such as the Temple Scroll and its law, Sadducean elements in Qumran law, Wisdom at Qumran, and Messianism." -Bulletin of the General Theological Library
"[A] convenient overview of the status quaestionis." -Shofar
"The Community of the Renewed Covenant makes an important contribution to the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It contains clear and comprehensive studies about major topics connected with the Scrolls and it is written by many of today's main editors of Qumran texts. The essays describe the Qumran community and its tenets, and form a remarkable and up-to-date collection of studies." -Joseph A. Fitzmyer, S.J., Professor Emeritus, Biblical Studies, The Catholic University of America
