Essenes and the New Testament

Some concepts in the New Testament play an important part in Essene literature. But such agreements do not mean that the first Christians were Essenes. And Jesus’ forerunner John the Baptist, who preached in the vicinity of the Jordan, was probably not a member of the Essenes. But the ideas of John and Jesus certainly have points of agreement with Essene thinking.
