Schiffman argues that the legal system portrayed in the scrolls coheres organically with the community?s theological outlook and idealized vision of itself. His argument thus challenges attempts to see the scrolls as having been produced by multiple groups, randomly collected and preserved. 606 $aJudaism$2bicssc 610 $aJudaism 615 7$aJudaism 700 $aSchiffman$b Lawrence H.$01024475 712 02$aBrown University. 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910386542203321 996 $aSectarian Law in the Dead Sea Scrolls$92434827 997 $aUNINA
