To correct this overly simplistic view, Lawrence mines archaeological and textual materials to outline a larger context for Jewish and Christian bathing. Using archaeological data from Jerusalem, Judea, Qumran, and the Galilee, as well as his own close reading of the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and other Second Temple literature, Lawrence identifies a spectrum of functions ritual, metaphorical, or initiatory that bathing served during the Second Temple period. He thus offers a new approach to the study of ritual bathing and suggests that, despite the polemics of later Christian and Jewish texts, the earliest Christians drew on a tradition shared with the Qumran community and other Jewish groups, in which each group chose its own emphases for ritual bathing.  aJudaism -- History  aDead Sea scrolls  aBible - Old Testament - Criticism, interpretation, etc4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11519/img-70211.jpgyCover Image  aNguyễn Thị Kim Phượng  c11370d11370  00104070aTVCDbTVCDd2026-01-20g0.00l0pTVCD-11370v0.00yBK
