Endnote 30 – The Dead Sea Scrolls and Early Christianity: Part One

The texts have been published translated and analyzed by Carol Newsom, Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice: A Critical Edition, Harvard Semitic Studies 27 (Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1985); see her comments on pp. 37, 133, 144. See also Fitzmyer, “The Qumran Scrolls and the New Testament,” pp. 618–619. Some caution is in order because Melchizedek’s name is never fully preserved in any of the fragmentary remains of these manuscripts.
