Who Were Ancient Qumranians

Željko Gregor ; Newbold College, Bracknell, Berks., Velika Britanija

Sažetak

When the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered, attention of many scholars was directed toward Khirbet Qumran as the most plausible place where the documents were produced. For many decades through this century, scholars argued about the time and historical condition under which the community emerged. In spite of the fact that there are many suggestion concerning their origin the author concludes that, even the attempts to identify the community with other religious groups than Essens is not supportative, neither by historians nor by the community itself. The assumption that the community was Essenic is the most probable which is at the same time general consensus among majority of prominent scholars, and it should be treated as such.
