Contents / scope

War of the Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness. This entity records the manuscript, not every military term or theological claim in it.

Evidence boundary: The War Scroll documents Qumran/sectarian military and apocalyptic concepts; similarities to New Testament language require occurrence-level comparison and cannot establish dependence by themselves.
