About the Author:
The scrolls of the Essenes and the history of this Jewish sect's possible antecedence to Christianity intrigued EDMUND WILSON and drew him, in 1954, to Isreal and the revelations contained in the newly discovered scrolls. His resulting account of the scrolls' history and significance was first published in the New Yorker, then expanded into book form, and them revised just before Wilson's death.
Review:
"Mr. Wilson has been a wizard in his conquering of the facts of an incredibly involved archaeological story." -- Christian Century
