The Ancient Library of Qumran Author:Frank Moore Cross "Mr. Cross is easily the foremost authority on the Dead Sea Scrolls today, thanks to his breadth of knowledge and his interest in all phases of research in the field. The present book is by far the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the subject; it is readable and fascinating to non-specialists as well to scholars." W.F.

"Some books on the Dead Sea Scrolls are very good, but few if any are as good as this one. As a member of the international and interconfessional team of scholars which has been working on the material in the Palestine Museum at Jerusalem, Cross is able to speak with authority... He is able to convey an amazing amount of detailed information without letting it clog the flow of his exposition... Excellent maps and photographs of the ruins of Khirbet Qumran add to the interest of the volume... The book is to be heartily recommended both for reading and for reference."
