Here is the definitive introduction to the Dead Sea Scrolls, including their teachings, the community that created them, and their significance for understanding the Hebrew Bible, the world of Judaism in which Christianity emerged, Jesus, and the New Testament.

This is the most readable, comprehensive, and up-to-date reference for students, clergy, and general readers who want to explore the Scrolls and what they mean for understanding the Hebrew Bible, Judaism, Jesus, the New Testament, and Christian origins.
