Summary:

Dualism has been recognized as a major factor in the ancient Judaic texts since they were discovered over a half century ago. Here scholars from Europe and North America share their own views in the context of previous scholarship. They cover dualism in the war texts, looking for sapiential dualism, another look at dualism, the Treatise on the Two Spirits and the literary history of the Rule of the Community, who and what did the Yahad not want to be, light and darkness in the Treatise on the Two Spirits and in 34Q186, and dualism and penitential prayer in the Rule of the Community.
