In Communities Of The Last Days C. Marvin Pate tells the story of the discovery and publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls and introduces us to these ancient Jewish texts and to the community that produced and collected them. This book tackles concrete themes -- messianism, mysticism, exile and eschatology, law and justification, monotheism and covenant, the hermeneutics of restoration, and the reinterpretation of the story and symbols of Israel -- all viewed through a comparison of Qumran and New Testament texts.
