Description
Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls: A New Perspective on Christianity. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 has been hailed as one of the most significant archaeological finds of the twentieth century, but what do these ancient texts reveal about the origins of Christianity? John Allegro, a leading scholar who worked on deciphering the scrolls, explores this question and many others in his thought-provoking book. Allegro's insights shed new light on the evolution of Christian theology, suggesting that it emerged from the Messianic teachings of the Essenes, the Jewish sect that wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls. This book offers a fascinating account of Allegro's own experiences as one of the first scholars to study the scrolls and his long battle to release their contents to the public. A new edition of this book includes an essay by Allegro on the controversy surrounding the publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which has recently been resolved with the release of all the texts to the public.
