Which sect or group did John the Baptist visit who lived in a community near the Dead Sea?
AnswerThe Essenes were an ascetic sect that appears to have had a community at Qumran, near the Dead Sea, and produced the documents now known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.There are suggestions that, because of his own acetic life style, John the Baptist may have been an Essene, but there is no real evidence of any link between him and the Essenes.
Did the Dead Sea Scrolls influence John the Baptist?
The Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden in caves overlooking the Dead Sea around 70 CE, at the end of the First Roman-Jewish War. They included many standard Jewish scriptures, as well as a number of scolls concerned with rules and practices of the community that hid them. Since John the Baptist was executed in 36 CE, long before the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden, he was of course not influenced by these scrolls themselves. Whether he was influenced by the scrolls before they became "Dead Sea Scrolls", or by other copies of them, depends on whether John was a member of the community that hid them. This possibility continues to be debated.
