Unlocking Divine Messages Hidden in the Bible

God Code

James C. VanderKam

The Community of the Renewed Covenant grew out of a symposium, held at the University of Notre Dame in 1993, which convened to address the state of the question in scrolls research. The contributors to this volume, each a well-known Qumran scholar and member of the international team currently editing the unpublished scrolls, represent the cutting edge in Dead Sea Scrolls scholarship.

The Community of the Renewed Covenant

This single volume collects all the Hebrew biblical manuscripts from Qumran—a transcription of each fragment in biblical order plus its textual variants. These manuscripts are the most authentic witnesses to the Scriptures at the birth of Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism.

This volume inaugurates the publication of the biblical Dead Sea Scrolls from the main collection discovered in Cave 4 at Qumran. It contains ten biblical manuscripts from Genesis to Deuteronomy and Job. Six are written in the ancient Palaeo-Hebrew script and four are in Greek. There are alsofive hitherto unknown compositions. The Hebrew texts antedate by a millennium what had previously been the earliest surviving biblical codices in the original language, and they document the pluriform nature of the ancient biblical textual tradition before the text became standardized. The mostextensive and significant manuscript, 4QpaleoExodm, exhibits the expanded textual tradition that formed the basis for the Samaritan Pentateuch and illumines the historical and theological relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans. Fragments of an unidentified Greek text mention Moses,Pharaoh, and Egypt, suggesting some development of the Exodus theme, and further witnessing to the rich religious literature to which Rabbinic Judaism and nascent Christianity were heirs. An index of all the biblical manuscripts from Qumran Cave 4 and their distribution in other Discoveries in theJudaean Desert volumes is provided, and there are also forty pages of plates from the manuscripts.
