It discusses Qumranic moral and purity boundaries, cultic rituals, wealth, gender, atonement, revelation mysticism, structure and organization and compares them with those of seven sects of the same (introversionist) type: the early Anabaptists, Mennonites, Hutterites and Amish, Puritans, Quakers and Shakers. The sociological and historical relationship between the Qumran sects and the related movements of 1 Enoch, Jubilees and the Essenes are analyzed in detail, in order to understand the socio-religious background of sectarianism in Qumran and its subsequent variations. Throughout the chapters, differences between the yahad, the Damascus Covenant and the Essenes are observed in relation to social boundaries, social structure, gender relations, revelation and inclination towards mysticism. Points of resemblance and difference are traced between the Qumran sects and the early-modern Christian ones, and several different patterns of sectarian ideology and behaviour are noticed among all these sects. 410 0$aReligion and society (Hague, Netherlands) ;$v45. 606 $aJudaism$xHistory$yPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.D 606 $aJewish sects 606 $aChristian sects 606 $aQumran community 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aJewish sects. 615 0$aChristian sects. 615 0$aQumran community. 676 $a296.8/15 686 $aBC 8920$2rvk 700 $aRegev$b Eyal$0770047 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809555103321 996 $aSectarianism in Qumran$94089850 997 $aUNINA
