Description
The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception is a gripping investigation into the control of the oldest Biblical manuscripts in existence. In 1947, the scrolls were discovered in caves near Jerusalem, only to be kept secret for nearly fifty years. The authors, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, set out to uncover how a small group of orthodox biblical scholars gained control over the scrolls, limiting access to outsiders and imposing a strict interpretation. Their inquiry takes them from Israel to the Vatican and into the offices of the Inquisition, where they uncover a web of intrigue and deception. The authors' research reveals that the scrolls present startling insights into early Christianity, challenging the Church's version of the facts. This book offers a new perspective on Christianity, one that is both significant and thought-provoking. By examining the available texts and collaborating with independent scholars, Baigent and Leigh shed light on the complex history surrounding the Dead Sea Scrolls. The result is a fascinating and informative exploration of a pivotal moment in Christian history.
