LES JEUDIS DE L’ÉBAF: QUMRAN – WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO UNDERSTAND A PESHER?

Thursday 20 March, Fr. Nicolò Rizzolo, r.c.i., qumranology lecturer at the ÉBAF, gave a talk entitled: “Qumrân – What does it mean to understand a pesher?”

After thirty years spent one half of the year in South Korea and the other half in the Saint Stephen convent, Sicily-born teacher gathered around an important theme of the ÉBAF and his dear thesis director, Fr. Émile Puech.

This presentation is not meant to explain what a pesher is. “You can read about that in my thesis, it only takes 1500 pages » the rogationist funnily said.

You don’t talk about Qumrân without Fr. Émile…

But rather to know when and how we can affirm that we have understood a pesher.
