Rediscovering the Dead Sea Scrolls: An Assessment of Old and New Approaches and Methods

Tools for Our Work introduces readers to a wide range of established and experimental treatments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, including paleography, archaeology, manuscript analysis, and a variety of literary, historical, and social scientific approaches.
