In this gripping investigation authors Baigent and Leigh set out to discover how a small coterie of orthodox biblical scholars gained control over the Scrolls, allowing access to no outsiders and issuing a strict "consensus" interpretation. The authors' questions begin in Israel, then lead them to the corridors of the Vatican and into the offices of the Inquisition. With the help of independent scholars, historical research, and careful analysis of available texts, the authors reveal what was at stake for these orthodox guardians: The Scrolls present startling insights into early Christianity -- insights that challenge the Church's version of the "facts." More than just a dramatic exposé of the intrigues surrounding these priceless documents, <I>The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception</I> presents nothing less than a new, highly significant perspective on Christianity.<P> 2916739 book 1991 The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception (A Touchstone Book) total:87|5:8|4:31|3:26|2:19|1:3| 87 283 133 10 1 0 false false Mon Dec 08 18:30:58 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 18:33:27 -0800 2008 more...]]> 1 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1996 Fri Jun 19 22:49:27 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 23:22:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 15:42:53 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 15:45:33 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jan 27 18:46:16 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 18:48:02 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 13:29:20 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 20:23:22 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Wed Nov 18 10:57:29 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 10:57:45 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Thu Jul 19 14:08:52 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 19 14:08:52 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sat Jun 16 09:21:19 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 16 09:22:02 -0700 2007 Verschlußsache Jesus.
