5.0 out of 5 starsAN “EARLY” SUMMARY (FOR A “POPULAR” AUDIENCE) OF THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS, AND THEIR IMPACT
By Steven H Propp TOP 100 REVIEWER on August 12, 2014
Format: Mass Market Paperback
John Marco Allegro (1923-1988) was a British archaeologist and Dead Sea Scrolls scholar; his (relatively) swift publication [The Treasure of the Copper Scroll] of the Scrolls material he was assigned was in marked contrast to the delays and stalling of publication of much of the other Scrolls material. His 1970 book The Sacred Mushroom & the Cross postulated that "Jesus" in the gospels was simply a code word for a psychedelic mushroom used by an ancient fertility cult; the lack of evidence presented in the book effectively ended his scholarly career. He simply assumed the "truth" of his thesis in his subsequent books such as The End of a Road and The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Christian Myth.

This 1956 book, however, was published while he was still a respected Scroll scholar. He wrote in the Preface, “The following chapters make no claim to being an exhaustive study of the fabulous documentary and archaeological material from the Dead Sea; such would be quite outside the scope of a concise, popular volume. It does attempt to give to the general public come conception of the extent and importance of recent discoveries in this area, and I hope in a perspective made possible by a study of the published and unpublished material alike.Read more ›
