You know the Scrolls are important . . . but you don't really know
why. Sure, there are plenty of scholarly volumes on the Dead Sea
Scrolls, full of indexes, footnotes, and jargon for those in the
know. But what if you're not a specialist? What if you just want a
basic understanding of what the Dead Sea Scrolls are, where they
came from, and why they're so important? That's where this little
book comes in. David Noel Freedman and Pam Fox Kuhlken here offer
an informed, inside look at these significant ancient texts. Full
of humor and behind-the-scenes glimpses into research on the
Scrolls, What Are the Dead Sea Scrolls and Why Do They Matter? is a
fascinating, accessible guidebook -- perfect for any reader seeking
a brief, quality introduction to this inscrutable subject. Answers
a gamut of questions from the general to the paranoid to the
somewhat cynical -- for example: What are the Dead Sea Scrolls all
about?Who wrote them, why, and in what languages? Have the Scrolls
changed our understanding of any passages in the Bible? Who's
hiding stolen fragments?Do the Scrolls tell us when the world will
end?How has technology improved our ability to study the
Scrolls?How much would a Scroll fragment sell for on eBay today?
