The Dead Sea scrolls & modern translations of the..

---

This book is a pretty good resource, which documents the impact the discovery of Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) made on the Bible, Bible translations and the field of textual criticism in general. The scope of the book includes only biblical manuscripts from Qumran. Pesharim and other sectarian texts which included biblical passages are not included in the scope of the book.

His introductory material on DSS is pretty basic. At first Scanlin very briefly covers the discovery of DSS, chronology and dating of the manuscripts. The rest of the introductory chapter is devoted to the impact of DSS on textual criticism and translation of the Bible. He spends nearly 20 pages on this second part, discussing mainly the stability of the Masoretic text (MT) and when/whether to prefer variant readings from DSS or other sources when translating the Bible.
