Description

From The Publisher:

Interest in the Dead Sea Scrolls is unparalleled, and that interest often arises from their possible challenge to traditional Christian faith.
  • Do the Dead Sea Scrolls hinder or undermine Christian faith?
  • Why are the scrolls so significant for a better understanding of Christian origins?
  • How and in what ways do these ancient Jewish scrolls alter or reshape Christian perceptions of Jesus and his earliest followers?
  • What is the proper method for comparing these scrolls with the writings in the New Testament?
  • How do the scrolls help us understand prophecy and messianic beliefs during the time Jesus taught in Galilee and Judea?
Four leading biblical and Dead Sea Scrolls scholars here consider these questions.
