About this title

Review:

'Here is a book we shall soon wonder how we did without. Bible scholars will find it essential; students will find it stimulating and exciting; anyone interested in the beginnings of Judaism and Christianity will find it fascinating. This is a book many have been awaiting since the Dead Sea Scrolls were first discovered half a century ago.' N. T. Wright 'This is an immensely valuable book. The first translation into English of the biblical books of the Dead Sea Scrolls is a major scholarly event. The material set out in this work will challenge further research for a long time. It is a book, however, that the general reader as well as the scholar can use with profit and pleasure. This is a book that no library can afford to be without. Understanding the world of the Gospels has been enormously enriched by the work of the editors.' Revd William Frend, Church Times

About the Author:
