Critical Praise for
The Dead Sea Scrolls - Revised Edition
"...the spirit of debate and critique, reappraisal and revision is here very much present. The brief discussions of the languages and scripts of the scrolls are a nice and somewhat unusual touch in a volume of this kind."
—
Bible Review
"The Dead Sea Scrolls are not just for scholars anymore. They are here in a book that anyone can understand. Read these texts. Hidden in their caves, they survived the ravages of time and decay to speak to us today across two thousand years. They have survived their authors and will survive us, their readers."

John Dominic Crossan, professor emeritus, De Paul University and author of The Birth of Christianity and The Historical Jesus
"...a rather readable presentation of a large portion of the non-biblical scrolls, which commends itself to the general reader."
