Reviews
"""With several Canadian museums having exhibited the Dead Sea Scrolls, Canada's Big Biblical Bargain could not be timelier. It fills a distinctive void, and is a serious advance in state-of-the-art research. It will without a doubt become the authoritative source on how the relationship between the Dead Sea Scrolls and Canada became firmly established."" Peter W. Flint, Canada Research Chair in Dead Sea Scrolls Studies, Trinity Western University"
