Description: Up-to-date analysis of the state of play of the Dead Sea Scrolls, including interviews with leading academics, like Professor Geza Vermes, and accounts of their opinions. The book highlights the severe lack of understanding that currently exists, especially of controversial texts produced by the sectarian members of the Qumran community. A comprehensive structural theory is presented which helps explain many of the anomalous passages in the Scrolls as well as in the Bible. Heavily illustrated with an 8-page colour section and numerous explanatory references and notes
