The five contributions in this issue are meant to engage and advance the current scholarly discussion concerning methods and theories used in the study of Scriptural texts. They demonstrate the need to account for all the available evidence and different theoretical perspectives. The first two articles focus on the methodological repercussions of the evident textual plurality of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The following two contributions show the need to use several methods in order to gain a fuller sense of the key motifs and development of texts. The final article argues that previous studies on Greek recensions can be used to gain a fuller understanding of the character of a translation even if it cannot be identified with a specific recension.
