The Dead Sea Scrolls And The Roots Of Christianity And Islam by Robert H. Eisenman
A revisionist study arguing that the Qumran texts reveal a militant, apocalyptic, Torah-centered movement whose outlook aligns more closely with an early, law-observant Jewish Jesus movement than with later gentile-oriented interpretations, challenging conventional origins stories. Tracing continuities in purity regulations, communal discipline, messianic expectations, and anti-imperial fervor, it contends that this sectarian matrix shaped the first forms of Christianity and left enduring imprints on the religious and sociopolitical milieu from which Islam later emerged, urging a thorough reassessment of established historical narratives.
