Christian Relics The next best thing to owning the Discoveries from the Judaean Desert Series is this book. And while the DJD Series costs $200-$300 apiece, this beauty goes for less than $20. One of the only translations available (but a pretty decent one) of the canonical books from the Dead Sea Scrolls collected together in one volume. Like a Critical Edition, extensive notes list important or interesting variants between the DSS and various other manuscripts. Lacua, breaks, and gaps in the DSS books (as compiled from the various texts for each book) are filled in using the Masoretic--the Masoretic is clearly distinguished from the DSS. Several additional goodies are included such as newly discovered Psalms and Sirach.
