4.0 out of 5 stars
People of the Dead Sea Scrolls,
By Doug R (Ft. Worth, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Voices in the Wilderness, They Wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls: A Historical Novel with Maps, Edited Scrolls, and Sources (Paperback)
This historical novel gives some insight into who were these people and why did they write the scrolls. Some intelligent conjecture is used to fill in the story which follows the life journey of a man as he discovers who he is and what he should believe in. At a time of deep religious conviction the Essenes turn into a fatalistic religious group, not unlike some modernistic cults. The reader may draw their own parallels here. A very good read with excellent historical background.

Reviewer from Texas Tech University,
By Ryan (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Voices in the Wilderness, They Wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls: A Historical Novel with Maps, Edited Scrolls, and Sources (Paperback)
The reader enters into the world of the Essene people shortly after the life of Jesus, during a time of great conflict. With war approaching, we follow the characters in their journey to the city of Sekaka and learn of scrolls being written and treasures being hidden. The author offers an entertaining and educational work by combining historical facts he personally helped discover with an interesting story. A good book for both scholars and those interested in learning more about the time depicted in the Bible.
