内容简介
Placed in caves almost 2000 years ago
and not discovered until 1947, the Dead
Sea Scrolls provide a unique insight into
Jewish and Christian origins. They have
held a fascination over academics,
religious leaders, and the lay public alike
for the last forty-five years. From 1952,
when a team of scholars was appointed
and Cave 4 at Qumran was discovered -
from which the materials in this book are
drawn - they have been under the control
of an ~lite and secretive clique.
However, in the autumn of 1991, this
monopoly was effectively broken when
the Huntington Library in California
announced it would allow public access
to its collection of Dead Sea Scrolls
photographs. This was soon followed by
the publication of a Facsimile Edition by
the Biblical Archaeology Society in
Washington D.C. Robert Eisenman was I
integrally involved in both events, and i
with Michael Wise had been working i
behind the scenes on the unpublished
photographs for some time.
Their discovery of a tiny Scroll fragment
of six lines referring to the execution of
or by a Messianic Leader plunged them
into a long-running debate. Scholars
previously controlling access to the
Scrolls had been pnblically contending
that there was nothing interesting in the
remaining unpublished Scrolls and
nothing throwing further light on
Christianity s rise in Palestine. The
conclusions of Professor Eisenman and
Professor Wise gainsay and challenge
these views. The present work is the result.
