Book Description
Edited by Donald W. Parry & Emanuel Tov, in association with Geraldine I. Clements The purpose of The Dead Sea Scrolls Reader, is "to enhance the research facilities of the individual texts within their respective genres. The nature of the Dead Sea Scrolls publication project was such that texts belonging to the same literary genre were published in different volumes in the Discoveries in the Judaean Desert (DJD) series, although those from cave 4 were often published by subject. The dispersion of these texts in several different volumes complicated their analysis, a problem that is now overcome in DSSR.
