4.9/5 (24441 ratings)

Description:Are the Dead Sea Scrolls the greatest archeological find of the millennium? Is something precious, or damaging to faith, being concealed by scholars who've monopolized access to them? J.H. Charlesworth & an international array of experts clear away cobwebs masking the lost centuries of these ancient treasures. Combining the most recent work on the Scrolls from Canada, Germany, Italy, Israel, the UK & USA, Jesus & the Dead Sea Scrolls presents an international & inter-confessional consensus on what these controversial documents have to say, & on how they have revolutionized understanding of early Christianity. Gone are the myriad sensational accounts presented in the tabloid press. With the keen eye of acknowledged experts, Charlesworth & colleagues give an accessible view free from parochial bias. The result is a cornucopia of discussion on topics drawn from the latest research on the Scrolls & the Qumran Essene community credited with writing them. Some of the material examined in this volume includes what the Scrolls have to say about the historical Jesus, crucifixion in ancient Palestine, the existence of an Essene quarter in Jerusalem, & the discovery of a pre-Christian messiah martyr cult. Jesus & the Dead Sea Scrolls gets to the heart of the matter of why these documents are important. Simply, they give an unparalleled insight into the times in which Jesus lived, & remain among the few surviving original documents written by the hands of his contemporaries.
