This is a two-volume set on the Dead Sea Scrolls, each from distinct scholarly perspectives. Geza Vermes, a prominent scholar in Jewish studies, presents translations and interpretations of the scrolls based on his extensive academic work. The other volume, authored by Mansoor, offers insights likely influenced by his family's role in the acquisition and authentication of the scrolls, providing a more personal and historical angle. These books complement each other in presenting both academic and historical narratives surrounding one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th century.
