Reviews

"The Community of the Renewed Covenant makes an important contribution to the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It contains clear and comprehensive studies about major topics connected with the Scrolls and it is written by many of today's main editors of Qumran texts. The essays describe the Qumran community and its tenets, and form a remarkable and up-to-date collection of studies." ~Joseph A. Fitzmyer, S.J., The Catholic University of America
