 Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls Edited by James Charlesworth 
 Description From The Publisher: Why have the mysterious Dead Sea Scrolls have been called the greatest archaeological find of the millennium? Is something precious, or damaging to faith, being concealed by scholars who have monopolized access to these hidden documents? Distinguished Dead Sea Scrolls scholar James H. Charlesworth and an international array of experts clear away all the cobwebs masking the lost centuries of these ancient treasures. Combining the most recent work on the Scrolls from Canada, England, Germany, Italy, Israel and the United States Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls presents the definitive international and interconfessional consensus on what these controversial documents have to say, and on how they have revolutionized our understanding of the founder of Christianity, Jesus of Nazareth. Reviews The teachings of the Dead Sea sect (identified by most scholars as the Essenes) hardly left a trace in Judaism but bequeathed a significant legacy to Christianity. No history of Western Civilization can ignore the relationship of Christianity to Essenism. This book is an important contribution to the elucidation of this relationship. Magen Broshi, Curator of The Shrine of the Book, The Israel Museum Scholars from North America, Europe, and Israel examine how recent work on the Dead Sea Scrolls has significantly altered the academic understanding of the life and times of Jesus. Includes details of how crucifixions were carried out, and a inquiry as to whether James was Jesus' brother. Charlesworth is the editor of the Dead Sea Scrolls Project at Princeton Theological Seminary. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
