The Archaeology of Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls, 2nd ed.

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this fluent, clearly written book, whose vivid account of the Qumran excavations is no less engaging than a literary thriller, Jodi Magness also succeeds in providing an accurate, updated picture of the archaeological finds and their significance against the backdrop of the Dead Sea Scrolls. A straightforward report of conflicting scholarly interpretations and academic scandals, accompanied by rich bibliographical notes, combine to create a robust picture of the status quaestionis of the most dramatic twentieth-century archaeological discovery.”
