BOOK SYNOPSIS
- THE DEAD SEA
SCROLLS
- $3.00
In 1947 the
imaginations of the scholarly world were staggered by the
accidental discovery of some of the most important written
materials to ever arise from the sands of the Mediterranean
world. Here were books of the Old Testament written in
Hebrew that were 1,000 years older than the principal texts
used in all modern translations. This booklet tells the
amazing story of their discovery, what they contribute to
cultural and religious studies and why they are now back on
the front pages of newspapers around the world.
This booklet
is a reprint of a series of articles the author wrote for
the Times‑Union newspaper published in Warsaw, Indiana, in
the fall of 1991. 20 pages, paperback
