The Dead Sea Scrolls Author: John DeSalvo

ISBN: 9781627950060 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 192 Published: 1 March 2014 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 23.5 x 17.8 x 1.91 Description: The Dead Sea Scrolls continue to fascinate readers from all walks of life. Ever since they were first discovered by a Bedouin shepherd in the Judean desert in 1947, they have been the subject of endless debate and speculation which continues to this day. It was not until as recently as 1991, when all 800 documents from eleven caves were finally available in translation, that numerous alternative theories were put forward about their authorship and their dating. In the clear account, John DeSalvo places the scrolls in their historical context, explains their classification and the methods of working and dating the scrolls as well as looking at specific texts. He also discusses the enigmatic Essene community at Qumran, and what has been learned about them from the artifacts, cemeteries and graves that surround the settlement at Khirbet Qumran. The now famous copper Scroll with its detailed list of supposed buried treasure is examined as are the theories surrounding it, such as the possible connection with the lost treasure of the Knights Templar. Finally, the relevance of the Dead Sea Scrolls to the New Testament, and the messianic Jesus are explored.
