Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Eugene Ulrich presents in The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Developmental Composition of the Bible the comprehensive and synthesized picture he has gained as editor of many biblical scrolls. His earlier volume, The Biblical Qumran Scrolls, presented the evidence - the transcriptions and textual variants of all the biblical scrolls - and this volume explores the implications and significance of that evidence. The Bible has not changed, but modern knowledge of it certainly has changed. The ancient Scrolls have opened a window and shed light on a period in the history of the text's formation that had languished in darkness for two thousand years. They offer a parade of surprises that greatly enhance knowledge of how the scriptural texts developed through history-- Introduction. The developmental composition of the biblical text -- Post-Qumran thinking: a paradigm shift -- The scriptures found at Qumran. The developmental growth of the Pentateuch in the Second Temple period -- Joshua's first altar in the promised land -- A shorter text of Judges and a longer text of Kings -- The Samuel scrolls -- The great Isaiah scroll: light on additions in the MT -- 1QIsaiah[superscript b] and the Masoretic family -- Additions and editions in Jeremiah -- The Septuagint scrolls -- Learnings from the scrolls. The absence of "sectarian variants" in the Jewish scriptural scrolls found at Qumran -- "Nonbiblical" scrolls now recognized as scriptural -- "Pre-scripture," scripture (rewritten), and "rewritten scripture": the borders of scripture -- Rising recognition of the Samaritan Pentateuch -- Insights into the Septuagint -- The Masada scrolls -- The road toward canon: from collection of scrolls to canon. The notion and definition of canon -- From literature to scripture: reflections on the growth of a text's authoritativeness -- The scriptures at Qumran and the road toward canon |
