Overview

The recovery of 800 documents in the 11 caves on the northwest shores of the Dead Sea is one of the most sensational archeological discoveries to date. These three volumes, the very best of critical scholarship, demonstrate in detail how the scrolls have revolutionized our knowledge of the text of the Bible, the character of Second Temple Judaism, and the Jewish beginnings of Christianity. In addition to unearthing historical and theological background to the Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls are the most important discovery for studying the textual history of the Old Testament.

Scripture and ancient-text citations link to other resources in your library for one-click navigation. Fully searchable and integrated into the Logos software, these volumes yield a wealth of information on the Dead Sea Scrolls and their importance for biblical studies.
