Dead Sea Scrolls (jan 1, 300 BC – jan 1, 100)

Description:

Written somewhere between 300 BCE and 100 AD/CE
"The many references to the temple, to the king and to the acts of God in the past are not references within the community's memory, but to the community's tradition, which is literary. On the evidence provided by the Psalms themselves, their collective authors know no more about their 'past' as children of Israel than we do merely from reading the literature that has survived." (The Mythic Past, Thompson, p 239)
