Written in Hebrew and Aramaic, and dating roughly from 200 B.C. to the mid first century A.D., they afford an unparalleled and revolutionary insight into Palestinian Jewish life and ideology at a very crucial period in the development of Jewish and Christian religious thought.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Geza Vermes</note> <subject> <topic>Dead Sea scrolls -- Relations to the Old Testament</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Israel</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Qumran</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">296.155</classification> <classification authority="ddc">V523-G40</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780140227796</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13951/d.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13951/d.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071317.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
