Богословие

This book deals with two commentary collections from the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The first collection consists of sixteen commentaries on poetic-prophetic passages from the Jewish Scriptures. These commentaries are known as the “(continuous) Pesharim” (singular: “Pesher”). Their name derives from the Hebrew noun רשפ (pēšer), which introduces scriptural interpretations in these commentaries. The Pesharim belong to the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls and were recovered from caves in the Judaean desert between 1947 and 1952.
