Discoveries in the Judaean Desert: Volume XI. Qumran Cave 4: VI : Poetical and Liturgical Texts, Part 1

This collection of texts from Cave 4 at Qumran greatly enhances our understanding of intertestamental poetry, adding a rich continuation to the biblical tradition of praise and worship of God in poetry. Among other things, these compositions reveal more fully the Qumran community's understanding of the link between heavenly and earthly worship and the interaction of men and angels in the praise and service of God.
