- Go to The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception -- Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh
Why, by showing Jesus as a seditionist
instead of a miracle worker, which was what he was tried for by the Romans (sedition, not miracles). That Paul was a self-serving liar at odds with the church, hellbent on running things his way. That many of Jesus' references to the Law were meant as backing the established Jewish order, not altering it.

Aw cmon!
A Qumran coverup by the Catholic Church? Nah, I can't believe it, and you know why? Because there is no need for a coverup. The Catholic Church does not want to discuss new discoveries that have not been thoroughly investigated first. Besides, how could the Qumran discovery affect the Church negatively?

I remember a book called
The Dead Sea Scrolls being published in the early 1960s. Is this the same one, updated and/or expanded? Another well-done review.
