    5.0 out of 5 stars Shining Light into the Dark Caves of Qumran
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    The popularity of Raymond Brown's "Responses to 101 Questions on the Bible" apparently gave Paulist Press the idea to create a series of books on various religious topics using the Q&A format (as of last month there are 32 books in the series according to my amazon search). The Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) are a perfect subject matter to address in this format; and they picked the right man for the job.

    My interest in the DSS are limited. My knowledge about the Scrolls and the community that produced them was limited to the references to them in works of biblical scholarship that I had read and a brief visit to Qumran during a tour of the Holy Land five years ago. I got this book with a desire to know the basics of the DSS in order to aid me in my understanding of the Bible and biblical history.

    Jesuit priest and biblcal scholar, Joseph Fitzmyer, makes the reading flow smoothly from one question to the next while covering various topics from the discovery and collection of the Scrolls (a bizzare story in and of itself), the types of documents found there, what the main documents contain, the doctrine, theology, and spirituality of the Qumran community, the relation to and possible influence on the New Testament, the intricacies of organizing and translating the texts (in which Father Fitzmyer was personally invovled), and the various scandals and conspiracy theories involved in the publication of the DSS.

    In popular culture, the DSS are mysterious and ancient relics that seem interesting, yet, inaccessable to the general public while attracting crackpots and conspiracy theorists who make ridiculous claims about the Scrolls. Father Fitzmyer succeeds in demystifying the Scrolls and making them more fascinating at the same time. My one complaint with this book is that, at one point, the geography of the Qumran area is being described, as well as, where the eleven caves are in relation to one another. This portion of the book would've been more clear if a map of the area was printed alongside the description, but now I'm just nit-picking. This book gave me everything I was looking for and made me want to read the other books in the "101 Questions" series.

    For those of you who wish to study the DSS, "Responses to 101 Questions on the Dead Sea Scrolls" is the perfect introduction to such a venture. If, like me, you seek general knowledge of the Scrolls, this book will quench your thirst.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Catechetical Instruction on DSS History and Meaning
    Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2010
    Since my interest in the DSS was evoked, reading Edmund Wilson's account of the work that has been patiently done on this great discovery, I kept following what scholars and experts wrote, including extreme interpretations by Allegro and conspiracy plots by others. Early since 1985 when Hershel Shanks expressed DSS scholars concern over the dawdling publications of all Qumran texts, and allegation of monopoly by Catholic scholars, my interest and many others was revived by the controversial tone of Jewish archeological scolars.

    Fitzmyer, a founding member and expert on the scrolls, wrote this structured book, partly in response to Shanks accusations. Replying to virtual questions started from a scratch, on the DSS, Qumran, and the history of the great discovery in Trans Jordan. For the informed the book starts to engage on more controversial issues, starting with Q 41, the interpretation and impact of those amazing scrolls, on ancient Judaism, messianic expectations, and the relation of this community to Christian monasticism, in Mariotis by Jewish Egyptian Therapuetae.

    Composed by such an eminent scholar, he also discussed if any parallels or allusions were found with New Testament writings, personalities or concepts, Son of Man, divorce, and many other NT issues in the Gospels, and epistles.
    Starting with Q 87 he defended his international team of any allegations of monopoly, hold up, or intended delay, and undermining any 'tendentious' readings of the Qumran scrolls.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Dead Sea Scrolls
    Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2008
    Joseph Fitzmyer is one of the most accomplished Catholic bible scholars today writing from the moderate perspective. This book on the Dead Scrolls may be a bit dated (it came out in 1992), but it remains an excellent introduction to the Scrolls and the controvery surrounding them. As Fitzmyer concedes, the delay in the publication of certain scrolls was scandelous, but there is no reason to think there was anything nefarious in the delay (such as a conspiracy by Catholic scholars). Likewise, although the Scrolls provide valuable background material for understanding the world of Jesus and the early church, sensational claims about references to Jesus and James, etc. have little basis in fact.
