Synopsis:
’A sensational story ... this scandal has gone on for far too long’ The Times
The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves 20 miles east of Jerusalem between 1947 and 1956. Now Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, co-authors of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, uncover what has been called ’the academic scandal par excellence of the twentieth century’: the story of how and why up to three-quarters of the eight hundred ancient Hebrew and Armaic manuscript, hidden for some nineteen centuries, have, until very recently, remained concealed from the world.
Through interviews, historical analysis and a close study of both published and unpublished material, the authors reveal the true cause of the bitter struggle between scholars. These documents disclose nothing less than a new account of the origins of Christianity and an alternative and highly significant version of the New Testament. the Dead Sea Scrolls Deception is the sensational true story behind the religious scandal of the twentieth century.
’If it succeeds in advancing the publications of material from Qumran, it will have achieved genuine good.’ Times Literary Supplement
’The damning evidence is all here and it looks pretty conclusive’ In Dublin
’ It is enough to make anyone curious about the early days of Christanity weep with frustration’ Mail on Sunday
