SYMPOSIUM THEME

What was the "religion" of the Qumran covenanters? That much-neglected
question focuses the efforts of the participants in this conference. The
presenters will address a number of issues that are well known from the
scrolls and scrolls scholarship, and yet have rarely been considered in
relationship to the faith of the Qumran community. In this way the
Symposium promises to cast new light on the religion at Qumran.
Registration is limited to only 150, so please book early!
