Description

A newly up to date edition of the landmark translation by one of our greatest religious scholars

Since its publication in 1962, esteemed biblical expert Géza Vermes’s translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls has established itself as the authoritative standard. The original manuscripts, found out in the Judean Desert between 1947 and 1956, completely transformed our understanding of the Hebrew Bible, early Judaism, and the origin of Christianity. Now in its seventh edition, The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English has been up to date with a variety of prior to now unpublished texts, in addition to extensive new introductory material and notes. Some sixty years after the Scrolls’ discovery, this revised and expanded volume crowns an entire life of research by Vermes.

For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the most productive works all the way through history and across genres and disciplines. Readers believe the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and recent authors, in addition to up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
