About This Item
Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press, 2013. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Unraveling the controversies surrounding the Dead Sea Scrolls Since they were first discovered in the caves at Qumran in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls have aroused more fascination--and controversy--than perhaps any other archaeological find. They appear to have been hidden in the Judean desert by the Essenes, a Jewish sect that existed around the time of Jesus, and they continue to inspire veneration to this day. In this concise and accessible book, John Collins tells the story of the scrolls and the bitter conflicts that have swirled around them since their startling discovery. There is some underline to the Preface, otherwise clean. Record # 378847
