- The volume uses a range of social science and gender theories to shed light on the Dead Sea Scrolls. The first inter-disciplinary framework adopted is masculinity studies, which is applied to the Rule of the Community and the War Scroll, to demonstrate the vulnerable and uncontrollable aspects of ordinary male impurities. Secondly, the embodied and empowered aspects of impure women are revealed through an application of embodiment theories. Thirdly, sociological insights from understanding of the everyday reveal how impurity disrupts the constructions of daily life and are applied to the Temple Scroll and the Rule of the Congregation.
