Qumrân and Early Christianity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 February 2009
Extract
This paper makes no claim to present any new contribution to the problem of the relationship between the Qumrân community and the primitive Church; it represents only the present stage of crystallization of the writer's thoughts on some aspects of this fascinating subject, and even so it asks questions rather than answers them.

page 185 note 4 Some consideration of this kind may underlie the narrative of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts v. 1 ff., although the death-penalty which they incurred was more severe than the year's excommunication from ‘the purity of the many’, coupled with the docking of one-fourth of his food-ration, prescribed in 1QS vi. 24f. for the member who ‘knowingly deceives in regard to property’.

page 189 note 3 In view of the discrepancy between Josephus's explanation of John's baptism and that implied in the N.T., it may be thought that Josephus misinterpreted it in terms of Essene lustration, which was more familiar to him.
