Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - The Dead Sea Scrolls - Revised Edition: A New Translation I was at Qumran in 1998, tourist. Since, I've read some about the Essenes. Didn't realize that so much of the DSSs were translated and published. 155 DSSs translated here (not the canonized Jewish Bible/OT writings). Multiple copies presented together for easier understanding of overall writing and what was important to the Essenes (six partials might be of interest to the in depth scholar, not to the layman). Commentary very thoughtful, enlightening, and as unbiased as one could hope for. Excellent. Rating: - Filling in the Blanks What was life like just before Jesus' time? What were the politics? What prepartations were proposed for the end of the world battle? Who were the good guys and the bad guys? Who was the Teacher of Rightousness, a name applied to Jesus in the Book of Acts? This most up-to-date translation, without the Roman Catholic bias of earlier ones, with excellent, 5 star commentaries on the 150+ scrolls, speaks to these and many more questions of background on Jesus life-time. Great food-for-thought and enlightenment. ... Read More Rating: - It may take me the rest of my life to reflect on and discern the amazing writ! "In their great variety and stunning richness, the Dead Sea Scrolls as captured in this groundbreaking translation offer modern readers an unprecedented glimpse of the complex roots of modern Christianity... texts encompass poetry and prose, teaching parables and magical tales, astrology, apocalyptic visions,..., stories of messiahs and antichrists," After Three Decades: I followed the saga of DSS since I read in 1970 Wilson's account of the discovery, two decades later. ... Read More Rating: - Very good, easy to read! This is a must for anyone who wants a complete version of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The edition is very easy to read, the text is of a good size and the paper is nice. The book also lays flat which to me was important. Over all I would highly recommend this to anyone's library. The books are very interesting, but do not really have any kind of odering, most were written to stand on their own. It's a pretty large book so it is not something you can read in one sitting. It is one of those books you use as a continual reference. ... Read More Rating: - Excellent This is my favorite edition / translation of the Scrolls. Very clear, easy to navigate and the commentary is very helpful. Has really enhanced my Bible studies. I highly recommend it. see more Browse for similar items by category: Church History - Christianity - Religion & Spirituality - Subjects - Books - Dead Sea Scrolls Christianity - Religion & Spirituality - Subjects - Books - General Christianity - Religion & Spirituality - Subjects - Books - General AAS Sacred Writings - Judaism - Religion & Spirituality - Subjects - Books - General Sacred Writings - Judaism - Religion & Spirituality - Subjects - Books - General AAS
