Nothing in the modern study of ancient Judaism and the birth of Christianity can match the 50-year saga of these documents, discovered by a lowly goatherd in the spring of 1947. Now, after years of academic debate and maneuvering as tense as any espionage novel, the Dead Sea Scrolls and fragments are at last available in their entirety, in the established standard English version. The texts which endure as the nonbiblical center of Judeo-Christianity & the foundation of Western literary traditions. Provides not only reliable, direct access to these intriguing documents but a wealth of scholarly information & an outline of the history surrounding them.
