Summary note
Klaus Berger offers a clearly written and highly understandable introduction to the controversy surrounding the Dead Sea Scrolls. He insightfully examines the relationship between the Judaism of the Qumran community and Christianity in its formative period. The picture that emerges proves to be more provocative and interesting than the speculative views that are making such a stir at the present.
An ideal starting point for the nonspecialist, this book provides basic and reliable information about the Dead Sea Scrolls and their significance for Christianity.
