Best-selling book on the Scrolls; updated to reflect current scholarship and recent debates The premier Dead Sea Scrolls primer ever since its original publication in 1994; James VanderKam's Dead Sea Scrolls Today won the Biblical Archaeology Society's Publication Award in 1995 for the Best Popular Book on Biblical Archaeology. In this expanded and updated edition the book will continue to illuminate the greatest archaeological find in modern times. While retaining the format; style; and aims of the first edition; the second edition of The Dead Sea Scrolls Today takes into account the full publication of the texts from the caves and the post-1994 debates about the Qumran site; and it contains an additional section regarding information that the Scrolls provide about Second Temple Judaism and the groups prominent at the time. Further; VanderKam has enlarged the bibliographies throughout and changed the phrasing in many places. Finally; quotations of the Scrolls are from the fifth edition of Geza Vermes's translation; The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English (Penguin; 1997).

It is an easy read and very informative for non-Jewish ChristiansBy Moushira EbrahimThis is a well written book; that expounds on the traditional and spiritual aspects of the feast. It goes in details about what is mentioned in Leviticus 23; tie that up with the Jewish customs and then clearly explains it in the setting of John's book of Revelation. It is an easy read and very informative for non-Jewish Christians.
