<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Hebrew scholar Kenneth Hanson captures all the mystery and excitement of the rediscovery of the scrolls, the half-century of intrigue that followed, and the ancient Hebrew sect that wrote, preserved, and died defending these treasured works.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For two thousand years, the Dead Sea Scrolls lay hidden deep in the caves of the Judean desert, unread, untouched, and forgotten. That is, until the 1940s when by sheer happenstance a Bedouin shepherd stumbled into the first of the caves and found himself faced with the jars containing these ancient Jewish texts. The rediscovery of the scrolls sent shockwaves through several religious communities, and for half a century, historians and academics poured over the mysterious texts. <i>Dead Sea Scrolls: The Untold Story</i> captures the excitement of this period, explaining what we have learned from these treasured works, and the truth about the ancient Hebrew sect that wrote, preserved, and died defending them.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kenneth Hanson, PhD</b>, is an associate professor in the University of Central Florida Judaic studies program. He is the author of <i>Blood Kin of Jesus</i>, <i> </i><i>Kabbalah: Three Thousand Years of Mystic Tradition</i>, <i>Secrets from the Lost Bible</i>, and <i>Words of Light: Spiritual Wisdom from the Dead Sea Scrolls</i>.
