Free The Dead Sea Scrolls (Core Biblical Studies Series) Ebooks Online
Contains new information about unpublished Dead Sea Scrolls with translations of key passages and recent discovery of the movement behind the Scrolls in their own words. See http://deadseascrolls.org/www/Site/thedss.php In 1947, a Bedouin shepherd stumbled upon a cave near the Dead Sea, a settlement now called Qumran, to the east of Jerusalem. This cave, along with the others located nearby, contained jars holding hundreds of scrolls and fragments of scrolls of texts both biblical and nonbiblical―in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. The biblical scrolls would be the earliest evidence of the Hebrew Scriptures by hundreds of years; and the nonbiblical texts would shed dramatic light on one of the least-known periods of Jewish history. This find is the most important archaeological event in two thousand years of biblical studies. Online supplement, with indexes, discussion questions, Dead Sea Scrolls websites, and links to study tools, electronic resources, and photographs: http://www.abingdonacademic.com/dsscrolls

Written very well so it is easy to follow. It is very interesting to finally have a book that explains it so well.
A superb introduction, thorough and up to date, including the archeology of Qumran, the biblical scrolls, the non-biblical scrolls, and the ideas, beliefs, and practices of the Essenes. Highly recommended for teaching Dead Sea Scrolls courses and for laypeople interested in the Scrolls, Early Judaism, and Christian Origins.
Very highly technical and boring reading. I want to know more about the "scrolls" but this is very difficult reading. It is very thorough though.
Digital delivery....enjoying!
