Product information
  • Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls
  • Explore the Jewish sect that directly influenced the beliefs, sacraments, and practices of early Christianity
  • Demonstrates how the Dead Sea Scrolls can shed light on the Church as a sacred society

From award-winning scholar John Bergsma comes an intriguing book that reveals new insights on the Essenes, a radical Jewish community predating Christianity, whose existence, beliefs, and practices are often overlooked in the annuls of history. Bergsma reveals how this Jewish sect directly influenced the beliefs, sacraments, and practices of early Christianity and offers new information on how Christians lived their lives, worshipped, and eventually went on to influence the Roman Empire and Western civilization. Looking to Hebrew scripture and Jewish tradition, Bergsma helps to further explain how a simple Jewish peasant could go on to inspire a religion and a philosophy that still resonates 2,000 years later.
 
In this enriching and exciting exploration, Bergsma demonstrates how the Dead Sea Scrolls—the world’s greatest modern archaeological discovery—can shed light on the Church as a sacred society that offered hope, redemption, and salvation to its member. Ultimately, these mysterious writings are a time machine that can transport us back to the ancient world, deepen our appreciation of Scripture, and strengthen our understanding of the Christian faith.

Jesus and the Dead Se Scrolls

"Have always been fascinated by the Dead Sea Scrolls, even as a teenager when they were first discovered. I was delighted to find Dr. Bergman’s book! It gave me wonderful insight into Jesus’ life through St. John’s Gospel. Shared with our priests and friends. Awesome book!"

Couldn’t put it down

"This is one of the best books I’ve read in the last few years. I learned so much about the Dead Sea Scrolls as well as connections to New Testament figures such as John the Baptist and the apostle John. Incredible parallels between the life of the Essenes and the early church. Highly recommended!"
