Dualism in Qumran

Informationen zum Autor Géza G. Xeravits is professor and chair at the Department of Bible, Sapientia College of Theology, Budapest, Hungary. The main field of his research is early Jewish literature, especially the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament. Zusammenfassung The importance of dualistic thinking within the "Dead Sea Scrolls" has always been emphasised in "Qumran Studies". This volume assesses issues such as: the origin of Qumran's dualism; the literary growth of the passages in question; and the social/ideological setting of the dualistic passages within the Qumran Library.
