Author Description

"All the Glory of Adam examines Dead Sea Scroll texts which pertain to the Qumran community's understanding of (a)a transcendent, angelomorphic or divine humanity and (b) the role of cultic space and time, and the experience of worship, in the formation of such a humanity." "Apart from all Dead Sea Scrolls scholars the book will be useful for anyone working on biblical anthropology, messianism and Christology, and temple or cultic theology."--BOOK JACKET.
