The Dead Sea Scrolls and the New Testament

Know about the book -

The Dead Sea Scrolls and the New Testament is written by George J. Brooke and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishing. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0800637232 (ISBN 10) and 9780800637231 (ISBN 13).

Brooke illuminates the first-century world shared by the Qumran community and the writers of the New Testament. The Dead Sea Scrolls have provided Old Testament scholars with an enormous wealth of data for textual criticism as well as theology. But, as Brooke skillfully demonstrates, New Testament scholars can use the Scrolls to learn more about the linguistic, historical, religious, and social contexts of Palestine in the first century. A wide range of topics and themes is discussed, including Matthew's Beatitudes, the lost song of Miriam, Levi and the Levites, women's authority, and the use of scripture in the parable of the vineyard.
