Abstract: 

The article investigates how the reuse of scriptural materials in the Qumran Pseudo-Ezekiel composition can inform the understanding of processes of literary development within the scriptural prophetic book. Identifying five specific features of rewriting, the argument makes a strong case for using the historical-critical perspective.

Notes: 
Special issue of AABNER, "Material and Scribal Scrolls Approaches to the Hebrew Bible." This special issue is a follow-up to the KU Leuven Online International Symposium: "Scroll Approaches to the Hebrew Bible," organized by Danilo Verde (KU Leuven), which was held on June 16, 2021. Verde’s proposal was to discuss how research on the materiality of biblical texts can shed new light on the historical study of the Bible’s formation, reading, revision, and transmission. The purpose of the symposium, then, was to host discussions on the work in progress of David Carr (Union Theological Seminary, New York) as programmatically presented in his 2020 article “Rethinking the Materiality of Biblical Texts: From Source, Tradition and Redaction to a Scroll Approach.”
