Are some still hidden away? Were there conspiracies to suppress some scrolls? How do the scrolls affect Christianity and Judaism? How similar are the biblical scrolls to our Bible today? These and other questions are answered in The Dead Sea Scrolls, A Short History, which offers information from exclusive interviews and unpublished archives. This book is ment as an introduction to the author's "the Dead Sea Scrolls: a Full History" (Leiden: Brill, 2009).
