The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception

The oldest biblical manuscripts in existence, the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves near Jerusalem in 1947, only to be kept a tightly held secret for nearly fifty more years, until the Huntington Library released copies of the Scrolls. In this investigation, authors Baigent and Leigh explore how a small group of orthodox biblical scholars gained control over the Scrolls, restricting access and interpretation. Their research takes them from Israel to the Vatican and the offices of the Inquisition. With the help of independent scholars and detailed analysis, they reveal insights into early Christianity that challenge the Church's version of events. The book offers a dramatic exposé of the intrigues surrounding these priceless documents and presents a new perspective on Christian history.
