Since I first heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls as a teenager, I have had a fascination with them. The `Holman QuickSource Guide to the Dead Sea Scrolls' by Craig A. Evans is a quick reference to all things Dead Sea Scrolls.Here is the synopsis for this amazing book:Buried in a forgotten cave and lost for eons of time, the Dead Sea Scrolls came to worldwide attention in 1947 when several of them were uncovered by Bedouin sheep herders who were searching for treasure. Though the herders thought them worthless at first, scholars came to see them as invaluable keys to unlocking the era of Christ. Sensational media accounts claim that the scrolls undermine Christian beliefs or paint an unexpected picture of Jewish religion. Now, after more than half a century after examination by scholars from around the world, the truth about the Dead Sea Scrolls can be told. Let recognized expert Craig A. Evan guide you into a fuller understanding of the Dead Sea Scrolls and their importance.Topics include:* Who wrote the Scrolls?* Do the Scrolls undermine the Christian Faith?* Did the New Testament borrow from the Scrolls?* The Science of Dating the Scrolls* Restoring and Preserving the Scrolls* Historical Groups and People Named in the Scrolls* Who were the Essenes?* How did the Essenes Interpret Scripture?* How did the Essenes Relate to Other Jews?* Were Jesus and John the Baptist Essenes?* Archaeology of Qumran and the ScrollsHere is the biography of the author:Craig A.
