«Il mistero del Mar Morto» is the historical essay by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, published by Net in paperback (260 pages, in Italian).
The book investigates why the Qumran manuscripts, found in 1947, remained hidden for decades. The authors, with interviews, documents and historical analysis, argue that these texts contain a heterodox reading of the origins of Christianity and an unconventional profile of Jesus, in the so-called «academic scandal of the 20th century».
Work translated into Italian by Silvia Lalìa and originally published in English as The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception (1991). First Net edition in January 2002; belongs to the Saggi collection.
For readers interested in the history of Christianity, the Dead Sea scrolls and the academic debates surrounding them.
Michael Baigent was a New Zealand writer who published a number of popular works questioning traditional perceptions of history and the life of Jesus. He is known best as a co-author of the book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail.
