No, I haven't seen the actual volume. I notice that another anthology on
the scrolls has appeared recently, edited by Eugene Ulrich and James
VanderKam, entitled The Community of the Renewed Covenant: The Notre
Dame Symposium on the DSS (Univ of Notre Dame Press). It's listed at
$29.95 (cloth), and doubtless has some excellent essays by various DSS
scholars. [Anyone like to review it? Anthologies are a challenge!]

Thanks. We are having some fun -- at least I am.
