Weisheit und Prädestination Weisheitliche Urordnung und Prädestination in den Textfunden von Qumran

This study is the first monograph published on the subject of wisdom and Qumran. The question to what extent the Essene community was influenced by wisdom is answered using as an example the connection between the original order in wisdom thought, and predestination. Use is made of both wisdom and non-wisdom texts from the Qumran caves.
