And “Vision of Meditation”: Reflections on 4Qinstruction and 1 Corinthians “SPIRITUAL PEOPLE,” “FLESHLY SPIRIT,” AND “VISION OF MEDITATION”: REFLECTIONS ON 4QINSTRUCTION AND 1 CORINTHIANS Eibert Tigchelaar Florida State University The most famous section of the Qumran sapiential text4QInstruction is undoubtedly 4Q417 1 i 13–18, the unit which, for the sake of conve- nience, has sometimes been referred to as the Vision of Hagu pericope. The most thorough and helpful, but often terse discussion of this peri- cope is still that of the editors, John Strugnell and Daniel Harrington, in their official edition of 4QInstruction.1 However, both before and after their edition, the pericope has been the subject of many longer studies,2 1 John Strugnell, Daniel J.

HODSON Abstract: The announcement by the Huntington Library in September 1991 of its decision to open for unrestricted research its photographs of the Dead Sea Scrolls touched off a battle of wills between the library and the official team of scrolls editors, as well as a blitz of media publicity. The action was based on a commitment to the principle of intellectual freedom, but it must also be considered in light of the ethics of donor agreements and of access restrictions. The author relates the story of the events leading to the Huntington's move and its aftermath, and she analyzes the issues involved. About the author: Sara S. Hodson is curator of literary manuscripts at the Huntington Library. Her articles have appeared in Rare Books & Manuscripts Librarianship, Dictionary of Literary Biography Yearbook, and the Huntington Library Quarterly. This article is revised from a paper delivered before the Manuscripts Repositories Section meeting of the 1992 Society of American Archivists conference in Montreal. The author wishes to thank William A. Moffett for his encour- agement and his thoughtful and invaluable review of this article in its several revisions.

    THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS: A BIOGRAPHY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK John J. Collins | 288 pages | 08 Nov 2012 | Princeton University Press | 9780691143675 | English | New Jersey, United States The Dead Sea Scrolls: A Biography PDF Book It presents the story of the scrolls from several perspectives - from the people of Qumran, from those second temple Israelites living in Jerusalem, from the early Christians, and what it means today. The historian Josephus relates the division of the Jews of the Second Temple period into three orders: the Sadducees , the Pharisees , and the Essenes. Currently, he is completing a comprehensive, multi-volume study on the archaeology of Qumran. DSSEL covers only the non-biblical Qumran texts based on a formal understanding of what constitutes a biblical text. Enter email address. And he unravels the impassioned disputes surrounding the scrolls and Christianity. The scrolls include the oldest biblical manuscripts ever found. Also recovered were archeological artifacts that confirmed the scroll dates suggested by paleographic study. His heirs sponsored construction of the Shrine of the Book in Jerusalem's Israel Museum, in which these unique manuscripts are exhibited to the public. In the first of the Dead Sea Scroll discoveries was made near the site of Qumran, at the northern end of the Dead Sea. For example, the species of animal from which the scrolls were fashioned — sheep or cow — was identified by comparing sections of the mitochondrial DNA found in the cells of the parchment skin to that of more than 10 species of animals until a match was found.

The Eschatology of the Dead Sea Scrolls J. Randall Price, Ph.D. Center for Judaic Studies Liberty University [email protected] Recent unrest in the Middle East regularly stimulates discussion on the eschatological interpretation of events within the biblical context. In light of this interest it is relevant to consider the oldest eschatological interpretation of biblical texts that had their origin in the Middle East – the Dead Sea Scrolls. This collection of some 1,000 and more documents that were recovered from caves along the northwestern shores of the Dead Sea in Israel, has become for scholars of both the Old and New Testaments a window into Jewish interpretation in the Late Second Temple period, a time known for intense messianic expectation. The sectarian documents (non-biblical texts authored by the Qumran Sect or collected by the Jewish Community) among these documents are eschatological in nature and afford the earliest and most complete perspective into the thinking of at least one Jewish group at the time of Jesus’ birth and the formation of the early church.
