Bibliotheca Orientalis
"A valuable and stimulating piece of work." Catholic Biblical
Quarterly
"Both the series and the institute promise to make valuable
contributions to scholarship." Choice
"This superb volume inaugurates a new series aimed at 'readers of
all levels.' Based on this collection, well conceived and well
edited by two faculty members at Trinity Western University, the
series is off to an exceptionally auspicious beginning. Each of the
eight authors...makes a sincere, honest, and almost always
successful attempt to bridge the gap between specialist and general
readers, and everyone else in between. . . Whether readers choose
to read the articles in order or sample them at various times, they
will be richly rewarded with new insights into how the Dead Sea
Scrolls, judiciously interpreted, increase our understanding of
'end of the world' expectations and speculations in conjunction
with, as well as independent of, Messianic figure(s). Warmly and
unhesitatingly recommended for interested readers, and their
libraries, at all levels." James A. Sanders
--Claremont Graduate School
"This volume offers solid scholarship on what is really important
in determining how to understand early Christian claims about Jesus
as 'messiah.'" James H. Charlesworth
--Princeton Theological Seminary
"This interesting book helps clarify why the Dead Sea Scrolls are
paradigmatically important for the study of Christian origins and
the New Testament."
