Qumran Interpretation of the Genesis Flood

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Lyon demonstrates a superior ability to work with the relevant primary sources in addressing the major positions in his analysis of the Qumran texts of the Flood. He has carried out extensive research in the secondary literature. He is aware of interpretive options. He is fair in giving different positions an adequate hearing. His argumentation is clear and precise. . . . This is a great contribution to the history of biblical interpretation and early hermeneutics.”

The Genesis Creation Account in the Dead Sea Scrolls

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“As a follow-up to his work on the interpretation of the Flood account at Qumran, Jeremy Lyon has now investigated the interpretation of the Creation account among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Lyon has not only provided a comprehensive analysis of the text and interpretation of these manuscripts, but in this masterful treatment convincingly shows how scribal practices were intended to reflect a particular interpretation of the Creation account. This analysis will likely play an important role in the ongoing Genesis-Creation debate.”
