Description
Wisdom Texts from Qumran by Daniel J. Harrington provides a comprehensive analysis of the Qumran wisdom texts, introducing readers to an important and lesser-discussed part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The book explores biblical and extrabiblical wisdom literature before focusing on the best-preserved wisdom texts from Qumran, including Sapiential Work A. This in-depth discussion considers the relevance of these texts for understanding early Judaism and Christianity. An appendix examines the Ben Sira scroll from Masada, adding depth to Harrington's exploration of this significant collection.
