I found a library book from 1955 by Millar Burrows called The Dead Sea Scrolls. From a quick skim of it, it looks like much has not advanced in this field. Interesting to read the alternate theories that Burrows explains and discards.
This talk is a preview of his book "The Story of the Scrolls" which is a must for anyone interested in the subject of Qumran. He must have felt quite vindicated to outlive so many who frustrated the Scrolls project.
"Vermes' written work on Jesus focuses principally on Jesus the Jew, as seen in the broader context of the narrative scope of Jewish history and theology, while questioning the basis of some Christian teachings on Jesus." I know what i am talking about.
Thank you Professor for all your great excellent work & LSU for posting. Thanks again. God bless you and all your loved ones.
RIP Professor Geza Vermes!! We just lost an excellent scholar!
Amazing to hear how the dead sea scrolls came about.

You study us, I study you.
Cutest Hungarian accent ever :)
Every American history lecture doesn't have to start with Columbus and every Dead Sea Scrolls lecture doesn't have to start with how they were found.
Read Matthew 20. :)
