Summary note
From the dramatic find in the caves of Qumran, The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible presents the world's most ancient version of the Bible. Prior to the discovery of the Scrolls, the oldest complete Bible was dated to the 11th century A.D. But this book translates texts more than 1,000 years older, allowing us to read the Bible it was in the time of Jesus. This volume includes all 220 of the biblical Dead Sea Scrolls, preserve parts of all but one book in the Hebrew Bible. They confirm that the text of the Old Testament as it has been handed down through the ages is largely correct, yet they also reveal numerous important differences. The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible offers new and striking textual readings that clarify millennia-old puzzles, restores lost psalms, reveals previously unknown details about the lives of biblical figures, and provides new information on how the Hebrew Bible was created. The texts are translated into English by Eugene Ulrich, one of the three general editors of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Peter Flint and Martin Abegg Jr., the directors of the Dead Sea Scrolls Institute. Commentary by the editors provides insight into the cultural and religious traditions behind the scrolls and the Bible itself.
