Spirituality & New Age History
Qumran and Jerusalem by Lawrence Schiffman offers a clear, accessible look at the historical and religious connections between the Qumran community and the city of Jerusalem. Drawing on archaeological findings and textual analysis, Schiffman guides readers through the development of early Jewish thought and practice.
The work balances scholarly insight with readability, making it suitable for both young adult and adult audiences interested in history, spirituality, and religious studies. It situates the Dead Sea Scrolls within the broader context of Second Temple Judaism without requiring prior expertise.
The paperback is in acceptable condition, with a minor bump on the bottom front corner that affects the first few page corners and some thumbing marks on at least six pages. Otherwise the pages are clean and tidy, the binding remains tight, and the book comes from a smoke‑free home.
