Government and Politics in the New South Africa - An Introductory Reader to Its Institutions, Processes and Policies (Paperback, 2nd edition)

In this publication new light is shed on the Qumran community, its organisational structure, its ultra conservative way of life, and how its leaders interpreted the books of the Old Testament by compiling their own commentaries. Emphasis rests on facilitating an understanding of references in the Gospels whilst also providing an insight into a community that existed parallel to the New Testament community, and to which some of Jesus' followers could have belonged.
