Liturgy Through Time: Dead Sea Scrolls, Part 2 - Episode 086

Genesis interpretation in the Dead Sea Scrolls: the "Words of the Luminaries": (4Q504) and a "Paraphrase of Genesis and Exodus" (4Q422).
The Words of the Luminaries is a set of weekly liturgical prayers and the Paraphrase of Genesis and Exodus is in the genre of "rewritten Bible," perhaps used as or with a homily. These are excellent texts to investigate how the people of Qumran and other Jews were thinking about the creation account. What aspects were they bringing out for use and application outside Scripture? Some of the points might surprise us, and they can lead to some interesting conversation.
Bonus topic for this week: an encouragement for liturgical prayer!
