Jonathan G. Campbell provides an introduction to eight sectarian manuscripts from among the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls that can loosely be called the 'Exegetical Texts'. He examines their contents, background, genre, and significance and he provides a history of the relevant research. The Exegetical Texts constitute a particularly diverse strand of sectarian compositions among the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls. For this reason, the eight documents are treated in turn in more or less equal measure, with two introductory chapters to set the scene and a conclusion drawing the discussion to a close. Each chapter can be read either alone in its own right or together with the others to gain a broader picture. In order to encourage the reader to encounter the relevant Qumran documents firsthand extensive listings of editions in Hebrew and English are provided. The contributors to the Companion to the Qumran Scrolls series take account of a wide range of relevant and recently published texts and provide extensive bibliographies. The books in the series are authoritatively written in accessible language and are ideal for students and non-specialist scholars. Companion to the Qumran Scrolls, volume 4

"'Without doubt, Campbell has proved in several articles and monographs that he is one of a small group of distinguished specialists capable of working on the Dead Sea Scrolls in general and on their pesharim texts in particular, an expertise needed in order to write successfully "in accessible language and... for students and non-specialist scholars.".... Moreover, his profound and well-based assessment of these eight exegetical texts provides a good foundation for anyone interested in pesher and, thus, the exegetical texts from Qumran. Not only students and non-specialists will find Campbell's slim volume intriguing and helpful; even scholars in the field will profit from the dense and precise evaluation of these manuscripts presented in a mere 132 pages.'
