He discusses specific texts, the enigmatic Essene community at Qumran, and what has come to light about the scrolls from the artifacts, cemeteries and graves that surround the settlement at Khirbet Qumran.The now famous Copper Scroll with its detailed list of supposed buried treasure is examined as are the theories surrounding it, such as the possible connection with the lost treasure of the Knights Templar, and the scrolls relevance to Jesus and the New Testament are also examined in this fascinating, beautifully illustrated book. 192p. illus bibliographyy. index.
