Focusing on the biblical manuscripts from Qumran, Sidnie White Crawford explores the evolution of scriptural texts, highlighting the dynamic role of scribes who interpreted and adapted scriptures for their contemporary Jewish audience. She categorizes six major text groups, illustrating how variations arose from a blend of copying and creative reworking. Crawford presents a new theory on the coherence of these texts, offering a thought-provoking analysis for those interested in the complexities of the Second Temple period.
