By centering our investigation around this central issue, we will embark on an exploration of a wide range of related topics, shedding light on the historical and theological context of the time. Through in-depth analysis, discussion, and examination of primary sources, we will seek to uncover the potential connections and influences that shaped the religious landscape of the ancient Judean world. This course comes down to a single issue: Was Jesus connected to, familiar with, or in any ways influenced by, the Jewish sect who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls? And around this central focus we will explore a whole variety of related topics, such as: What are the Dead Sea scrolls? How were the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered, dated, and interpreted early on? Were the Essenes the group responsible for writing the Dead Sea Scrolls? Who were the Essenes and what were their beliefs? Was John the Baptist likely connected to the DSS (Dead Sea Scrolls) group? Are there close similarities between the Jesus movement and the DSS group—how many and how significant? What about sharp differences between the Jesus movement and the DSS group? If the movement lasted until the Jewish Roman War in 66-73CE, was it possible that the Jesus movement and the DSS group had knowledge of each other? How different are the Pharisees and the Sadducees from the DSS group and the Jesus movement? And so much more... In this course, our primary focus is on a direct engagement with the Dead Sea Scroll texts. Our emphasis is not on delving into theories about the group but rather on a meticulous examination of the content within the Scrolls themselves. By the conclusion of this course, you will have gained a profound understanding of the fundamental aspects necessary to embark on more in-depth explorations in the realm of biblical studies.
