Who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls?

The search for the secret of Qumran

In Who Wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls? Professor Norman Golb intensifies the debate over the scrolls’ origins, arguing that they were not the work of a small, desert-dwelling fringe sect but written by different groups of Jews and the smuggled out of Jerusalem’s libraries

Norman Golb unravels the mystery behind the scholarly monopoly that controlled the scrolls for many years, and discusses his role as a key player in the successful struggle to make the scrolls widely available to both scholars and students.

Since their earliest discovery in 1947, the Scrolls have been the object of fascination and extreme controversy.

Challenging traditional dogma, Golb has been the leading proponent of the view that the Scrolls cannot be the work of a small, desert-dwelling fringe sect, as various earlier scholars had claimed, but are in all likelihood the remains of libraries of various Jewish groups, smuggled out of Jerusalem and hidden in desert caves during the Roman siege of 70 A. D.

Contributing to the enduring debate sparked by the book’s original publication in 1995, this digital edition contains additional material reporting on new developments that have led a series of major Israeli and European archaeologists to support Golb’s basic conclusions.

In its second half, the book offers a detailed analysis of the workings of the scholarly monopoly that controlled the Scrolls for many years, and discusses Golb’s role in the struggle to make the texts available to the public. Pleading for an end to academic politics and a commitment to the search for truth in scrolls scholarship, Who Wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls? sets a new standard for studies in intertestamental history
