The Rewritten Joshua Scrolls from Qumran

Mehr zum Buch

The book offers a comprehensive study of newly discovered texts that reinterpret the Book of Joshua, specifically focusing on six scrolls from the Qumran caves and Masada. It provides improved editions and in-depth commentary on each manuscript, analyzing their biblical exegesis. Furthermore, it challenges the prevailing view that these scrolls represent a single composition, situating them within the broader context of Second Temple Jewish literature related to the figure of Joshua. This scholarly work aims to fill a significant gap in the existing literature.
