| Title: Of Qumran, the Canon and the History of the Bible Text Secondary Title: Forum for Bibelsk Eksegese Volume: 7 Pages: 36-46 Type: Journal Article Year: 1996 Abstract: Klostergaard Petersen, Anders in: JSJ 30.2 (1999), 219: "Discussion of the concept of canon based on the Qumran biblical texts. The "proto-biblical" texts in Qumran, the NT, Josephus and inner-biblical rewriting of Pentateuchal and Deuteronomistic narratives indicate that no conception of an integral canon of the OT exists in Judaism till the beginning of the 2nd C. CE at the earliest. It is, therefore, inadequate to speak of a conflict between "orthodoxy" and various "sects" at least until the devastations of Palestine in 70 and 135 CE.". Keywords: Qumran |
