Reviews

'[A] welcome addition...to the available literature on the Dead Sea Scrolls...This volume is well worth reading.'--Alistair I. Wilson, Themelios, 32/1 Themelios


'Scholars who seek safe passage through the stormy seas of current 'revisionist' theories concerning the origins of the Dead Sea Scrolls will find this compact volume a delight. It provides a welcome and insightful evaluation of such opinions from a long-established Qumran scholar.' ~ Brian Capper, Vol 28.5, 2006 -- Brian Capper * Journal for the Study of the New Testament * '[A] welcome addition...to the available literature on the Dead Sea Scrolls...This volume is well worth reading.' -- Alistair I. Wilson, Themelios, 32/1 * Themelios *
