Abraham at Qumran
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book chapter › Research
The Dead Sea Scrolls, including the Book of Jubilees copiously attested at Qumran, depict Abraham as a Jew living by the Mosaic rules long before they were first given. This is an early example of coopting the patriarch in order to guarantee the primacy of one's own religious tradition - a phenomenon later found in Christianity as well as Islam.
