| Synopsis: |
From the dramatic find in the caves of Qumran, "The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible" presents the world's most precious and ancient version of the Bible. One thousand years older than any existing manuscripts, these scrolls allow us to read the Bible as it was in the time of Jesus. Preserving parts of all but one biblical book, the scrolls confirm that the text of the Old Testament as it has been handed down through the ages is largely correct. Yet they also reveal numerous important differences. All 220 of the Dead Sea biblical scrolls are presented, arranged for reading in canonical order. Commentary by the editors provides insight into the rich cultural and religious traditions behind the scrolls and the Bible itself. |
