Synopsis
The discovery of the "Dead Sea Scrolls" in the Judaean desert between 1947 and 1956 transformed our understanding of the Hebrew Bible, early Judaism and the origins of Christianity. This title presents a translation of the non-Biblical "Qumran Scrolls", giving insight to the organization, customs, and history of the community responsible for them.
