First published in 2007. Reading like a detective thriller
involving the highest of stakes, this is the story of a discovery
that is still to be fully realised one that has split the scholarly
community worldwide and which may yet transform our understanding
of two of the world's religious faiths. The manuscripts known
collectively as the Dead Sea Scrolls have been the subject of
controversy ever since the discovery of the first texts in a cave
in the Judean Desert at Khirbet Qumran in 197. The precise details
of this find and the story of what happened to these manuscripts
and many others found subsequently on other sites were shrouded in
mystery, partly because some were uncovered during illegal
explorations which destroyed important evidence of provenance and
partly because it soon became apparent that the contents of the
scrolls themselves were highly sensitive, consisting of religious
texts, many previously unknown. Today there are several hundred
documents and fragments that are considered Dead Sea Scrolls, Del
Medico's classic work provides the best and clearest background to
the continuing riddle of the scrolls.
