«Who Wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls?» is Norman Golb's essay on history and religion, published by Touchstone in paperback (480 pages, in English).
Golb argues that the Dead Sea Scrolls were not the work of an isolated sect at Qumran, but of several Jewish groups who hid them after removing them from Jerusalem's libraries during the Roman siege of 70 CE. He also denounces the academic monopoly that delayed their study and reviews the struggle to open access to researchers and students.
Norman Golb was professor of Jewish history and civilization at the University of Chicago. The subtitle of this edition is «The Search for the Secret of Qumran» and it includes a new epilogue by the author.
Suitable for students and readers interested in the history of Judaism and academic debates about the Dead Sea Scrolls.
