Description - Discoveries in the Judaean Desert: Volume XXVI. Qumran Cave 4: XIX by Philip Alexander
This volume presents the long-awaited edition of the Cave 4 manuscripts of Serekh Ha-Yahad or The Rule of the Community, in which the Essenes detailed the guidelines for membership in their community. Also known as the Manual of Discipline, a complete scroll was found in Cave 1 at Qumran and this edition illuminates the textual and redactional history of Dead Sea literature. The document is extremely important for understanding the nature,
practice, and ideology of the Qumran covenanters.
