The Dead Sea Scrolls: A Biography (Lives of Great Religious
Books) by John J. Collins is part of an excellent and readable series of how to
read, or what to expect from reading, great religious books. Another great biography in this series is on
the Talmud. For someone like me, who
paid close attention to the Dead Sea Scrolls in the 1990s, when there was a
great deal of controversy concerning the dissemination and publication of the
scrolls, this volume is a great way to get caught up without diving too deeply
into details.
