All of this information and more (a whopping 12 pages) can be easily found online for free. Wikipedia for example has a huge entry dedicated to this topic, with many subtopics that would keep you occupied for days if you wanted to. To charge $3 for this seems absurd. There also many extensive works on the Dead Sea Scrolls that are worth the money. Geza Vermes for example gives an extensive introduction (longer than this) plus you get the complete Dead Sea Scrolls in translation for less than $10 (Kindle) if I remember. The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English (7th Edition) (Penguin Classics)
Great little resource on the history/discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It's just a basic overview of the scrolls, but is quite informative for someone who doesn't know much about them (like me).
This is a opinion book about the history of the scrolls not the scroll themselves.
What can I say? Another GREAT item from Rose Publishing! Great item for a quick reference or to review! Love it!
I keep this for reference, I read in hardback many years ago and I wanted a digital copy.
We appreciate this series. Concise and informative.
Great book very precise and informative.
Wanted a bit more info, but it covered the basics.
