Summary:

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Society's 2007 annual meeting, held in San Diego, included a number of special sessions on recent development in scrolls research. Eight studies here reflect deliberations in the session devoted to the past and potential impact of the scrolls on Johannine studies. Among the topics are mystery in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the fourth gospel, purification in the fourth gospel in light of Qumran, and light from the Dead Sea Scrolls on John 17:15. The Society of Biblical Literature publishes the paperbound edition; Brill publishes the hardbound. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
