Within the pages of The Dead Sea Scrolls, you will encounter a full historical and photographic account of the Dead Sea Scrolls, from their initial discovery in 1947 to their recent publication and ongoing interpretation. You will learn not only how the Dead Sea Scrolls were found but also why many scholars believe that other scrolls still await discovery.
