Abstract

: This article offers methodological reflections on the relationship between biblical scholarship and Qumran studies and is a plea for a more intensive cooperation between the two disciplines. In particular, we address the question how critical methods developed ca. 250 years ago in biblical scholarship and practised to this day can fruitfully be applied to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Beyond purely methodological concerns we will ask whether the results of modern biblical criticism are able to shed fresh light on the scrolls and to what extent the new material unearthed at Qumran can enrich the field of biblical studies.
