This book will enable the scholarly public to have a better comprehension of the ideology of the Dead Sea Scrolls Community and how these two metaphors shaped the role of the community. It will help it readers to know how important it was for the DSS community to see itself as the 'True Israel' and as the 'Kingdom of priests and a holy nation'.
