The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls prompted waves of enthusiasm for understanding Hebrews in that context, both in terms of the Qumran sect’s priestly messianism and understanding of Melchizedek, but claims often were excessive and the approach was discredited. The present study reevaluates the priestly Christology of Hebrews and the presentations of the messianic priest and Melchizedek in the Qumran texts, arguing that the latter do indeed provide the closest parallels to Hebrews’ thought.Studies on the texts of the desert of Judah ;v. 74.PriesthoodBiblical teachingMessiahJudaismHistory of doctrinesJudaismHistoryPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.DPriesthoodBiblical teaching.MessiahJudaismHistory of doctrines.JudaismHistory227/.8706Mason Eric Farrel1495644MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792121003321You are a priest forever3755969UNINA
