| Summary: | This is a substantial book that gives an exhaustive report of the public and private events surrounding the Dead Sea Scrolls from the time of their discovery in 1947 to 1960. Fields’s documentary style captures the excitement of those who were involved in the discovery of the Scrolls and the tumultuous political context in which it happened. The list of scholars and their families who took part in this project by agreeing to be interviewed over the course of several years is truly impressive. The book will certainly become an invaluable resource for information about the discovery and the events following it. Fields succeeds in giving a remarkably vivid account of the events that transpired. |
