Qumran: A Carta Field Guide

Description

"The Dead Sea Scrolls are undoubtedly the most important discovery found in Israel in the field of the Bible and history of Judaism and Christianity" (Yigael Yadin). Fragments of about nine hundred different scrolls from the Second Temple period were discovered in eleven caves at Qumran between 1947 and 1956. No one is better qualified than Hanan Eshel-with his vast experience in the field, wide historical knowledge and superb scholarship-to tell the full story of Qumran in Qumran: A Carta Field Guide. Qumran: A Carta Field Guide provides a virtual tour through the caves at Qumran and ensures that visitors will maximize their enjoyment and understanding of this historic site.
