Scriptures and Sectarianism

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A timely collection, bringing together ten years of John J. Collins's writings on the Dead Sea Scrolls. In these essays Collins displays his meticulous use of primary and secondary sources and his cogent arguments concerning the sectarian community that lived at Qumran, all in clear and readable prose. A must-read for scholars of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity!”

Stone and Dung, Oil and Spit

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A superb handbook on Jewish daily life in the late Second Temple period. Magness demonstrates how texts and archaeology, with careful scholarship, can illuminate each other. This book will be valuable for undergraduates, graduate students, and all scholars of the period for a long time to come.”

The Satan

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Stokes has written the most thorough treatment of Satan in ancient Jewish literature to date. Beginning in the Hebrew Bible, continuing with the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Second Temple period literature, and concluding with the New Testament, Stokes masterfully chronicles the development of the figure of Satan from God’s executioner to God’s enemy. The definitive handbook for years to come!”
