About This Item
Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2019. 1st p/b ed.. Paperback trade, very good condition, black & white text-photos, maps, fore-edge little marked, some edgewear (minor tears & dents). 272 pp. John Collins provides a concise definitive story of the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient Jewish and Hebrew religious manuscripts discovered between 1946 and 1956 at the Qumran Caves. Bitter conflicts have swirled around them since their discovery, including their influence on Jesus and the founding of Christianity. He also describes how the bureaucratic decades-long delay in publishing the Scrolls gave rise to sensational claims and conspiracy theories.
