Loading... The Dead Sea Scrolls: A Full Historyby Weston W. Fields
   None No current Talk conversations about this book. No reviews
 This is a fabulous book, filled with riveting stories, first-hand access to fascinating personalities, and bringing the otherwise obscure early history of the scrolls to light. This is a valuable contribution that will serve to lend sympathy to the earliest scrolls scholars and admiration for the seemingly insurmountable challenged faced by de Vaux and others.
Who discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls? When and where were they discovered? How were they saved? Who bought them and who paid for them? Who has them now and who owns them? Will more be discovered? Have all the scrolls been published? Are some still hidden away? Were there conspiracies to suppress some scrolls? Preceded by The Dead Sea Scrolls, A Short History, The Dead Sea Scrolls, A Full History, volume 1, is the first of a projected two volumes offering a more complete account of the discovery of the scrolls and their history over the past 60 years since the first scrolls were discovered in a cave near the Dead Sea.
