This lecture was done in 2009 but I would not change much of it even if I were giving it today. It offers a good overview of the main issues scholars continue to grapple with.
This lecture was part a Biblical Archaeology Society seminar, publishers of the premiere archaeology magazine, Biblical Archaeology Review. It is used with permission.

James Tabor is a great scholar and a very entertaining and worthwhile speaker!
Very few scholars can talk off the cuff like this.
Dr Robert Eisenman.
Tabor makes Bblical history and archaelogy even more interesting than Harrison Ford documentaries about lost ark etc. If I have had such great lecturers... well, I did so still interested in history and dreaming about co-dig in some real site. These still are amazing.
James Tabor is a Legend .. myth vision and gnosis informant are the best shows too
It’s cool channels like that can showcase invaluable scholarship to any person. Blogging Theology has good stuff too. 🙌
Mr Tabor just love listening to your channel help me understand the Bible more an I've learned so much from where you have gone over seas
Thank you. This video was wonderful.
This was wonderful
Thanks for sharing!
Ritual cleansing is different from baptism. One is to insure spiritual purity in sacred places, whereas the other is a form of spiral rebirth. I don't think the members of the Qumran felt the need to be reborn every time they entered the compound.
Great Content.
Thankyou
That was quite an insertion on year two
A fascinating lecture!
Highly professional forgers of the 20th century.
I believe the book he is referring to is
“ The Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls”. Not, “Understanding The Dead Sea Scrolls”.
Can't tell who wrote this but i can tell it was written 80 years ago
Well at 10:31 he lost me when he said reading the "Damascus Document" will give you everything I'm going to give you today 👍🤣 Might as well go straight to the source
Is there a way to reconcile the Essene community with early Christians in light of a change of priesthood? See below especially v. 12.
Hebrews 7:11¶If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
The "apocryphal" and "psuedoepigraphic" writings played a tremendous role in both the Qumran community and the early Christian understanding. I am pretty convinced that the Essenes simply died off and/or were absorbed into a better New Covenant understanding of scripture i.e. Chriatianity. Thoughts?
By better I mean a more fulfilled understanding. Also it's interesting that Rabbi Akiva was interested in producing a hyper literal Greek Bible to compete with the Christians prophetic use of the LXX and he ends up not endorsing a lot of books that Christians both Christians and Essenes could point to to back up their beliefs...the apocryphal and "psuedoepigraphal" works were the stepping stones of a New Covenant paradigm that Messiah would definitely have needed to support the early communities' beliefs.
I don't know if anyone can actually throw "God's sovereignty"(not in the Calvinist sense) out of the equation.BTW I used to go to a COC... That joke was hilarious 😂
They may have just been facing their feet to Jerusalem in disgust
I wrote them.

Hi Dr. Tabor, I'd like to do a podcast with you. How do I reach you?
I'm a member of the Church of Christ also and not all of them are dogmatic
To suggest that they fought Rome is insane also and it ignores the fact that the Bible said they would have been present at the Jordan River with John
You forget that their literature says that they were delivered from the congregation of the violent
This does not typify anything they are speaking of and not only that but their calendar written BC ended in 74 ad so they knew what was going to happen and they would have never stayed to fight Rome
The occupation would have been vacant at that time and they would have been in Mount Pella with the rest of the church
22:37???
I find it completely insane to divorce this community from being present at the Jordan River with John the Baptist seeing as how the Bible clearly says that all of the region of Judea went to be baptized by John
I find it even more ridiculous to try to divorce their waiting for messiah from John baptizing in the Jordan whenever they clearly prophesied that the teacher of the congregation was going to bless the prince
What bible would be the most acurate kjv or speguiant??
The Codex Sinaiticus (mid-4th century) along with the Codex Vaticanus (4th Century) and Codex Alexandrinus (5th century)? Believe extant copies of the Septuagint date from 4th century, so would lean towards that too.
stay away from from greek and modern hebrew translations.
Short commentary. This was close to Provence monastery monks as men closed community isolated from real common life.
Seem's Jesus and James were more in real life community.
It wasn't me I was sick at home at the time my mother can confirm this ❤❤❤
The Torah never said not to do your business in your settlement
Must be referring to Deuteronomy 23:12-14
@@hywelgriffiths5747 This is a camp that goes to war, not a settlement.
@@hywelgriffiths5747
And of course I am talking about Shabbat which is not written in the Torah not to defecate on Shabbat
@@yosefgreen3130 That's right, the immediate context is a war camp, but sects and rabbis have interpreted it as having wider implications. The Qumran text in particular drew the implication that the latrines should be a certain distance from their settlement, see the War Scroll. The point about the Shabbat is that the Torah places a limit on how far you can move on that day. If that's combined with a rule that says the latrines must be further away then a dilemma arises. So you're right, there's no specific rule for that in the Torah - it's a matter of interpretation and maybe a question for the Rabbis.
@@hywelgriffiths5747
The rabbis understood exactly the correct interpretation as explicit in the Gemara and therefore we are not Essenes
The fornication they spoke of in Jerusalem was spiritual
Not Palestein-The Knogdom of Judea and Israel.
In the time of the macabees the romans and their "asyiria palestina" were not preset in Judea and Israel.
The name "Palestine" is much more ancient than the Romans, going back to the Hebrew "Pelesheth" and Egyptian and Assyrian cognates. Herodotus in the 5th century BC names the land between Phoenicia and Egypt as "Palaistine"
A goat couldn't graze in that country. Unless they are analyzed by independent scientists I can't accept them as authentic.
You're dealing with people that had to keep themselves pure until the time that Messiah was to send them into the world and this is not scholarship
Please explain how all people in Judea showed up at Jordan except for these people
And while you're at it please explain how come John already had disciples whenever he had supposedly been living all by himself in the desert
You have to work a whole lot of effort into not considering all things to come up with these conclusions and it's really pitiful
