About this book
First published in 1959, The People of the Dead Sea Scrolls gives a complete pictorial record of the dramatic story of the Dead Sea Scrolls – actually shows the places where the Scrolls were found, as well as the desert and caves in which the people of the Scrolls lived just before the dawn of Christianity. The striking photographs tell the exciting story of the discovery of the Scrolls and the subsequent archaeological excavations and research. They also show the rocky desert with the remains of the ancient Essene community in which the people of the Scrolls practiced their austere faith, and the Scrolls themselves, which reflect the life of the desert settlement, its leaders, and its religious spirit. This book will be of interest to students of history, religion and archaeology.
