Description

The Complete World of the Dead Sea Scrolls A comprehensive survey of every major manuscript, this fully illustrated book draws together all the evidence to present a detailed account of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Written by three noted scholars in the field, it explores the authorship and origins of the scrolls, their implications for Christianity and Judaism, and their link with the ancient site of Qumran. With numerous factfiles, reconstructions, and scroll photographs, this book provides an accessible and authoritative guide to one of history's greatest language troves. The publication of all the scrolls in translation has allowed for a more nuanced understanding of these ancient texts, and this book brings together the latest research to shed new light on their significance. Featuring a wealth of illustrations and information, The Complete World of the Dead Sea Scrolls is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or the study of ancient civilizations.
