"Fitzmyer, a prodigiously gifted scholar, has been involved with scrolls research for 50 years,"---Commonweal. A clear, objective summary of how these sometimes-sensationalized finds have had an impact on Old Testament study; our understanding of Jewish sects; the meaning of Aramaic and Hebrew terms; the backdrop to the New Testament. 176 pages, softcover. Paulist.

Written for interested readers as well as students of the Bible, this book emphasizes the importance of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
