The Scrolls From The Dead Sea by Edmund Wilson
A brisk, skeptical examination of the Dead Sea discoveries that questions the sensational claims surrounding their significance, provenance, and interpretation; the work critiques the scholarly handling and publication practices, assesses the texts’ relationship to Jewish sectarian life and biblical tradition, and argues that much of the public and academic excitement has been overstated rather than justified by the actual content of the manuscripts.
