The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English : Seventh Edition by Geza Vermes (2012, UK-B Format Paperback)

A newly updated edition of the landmark translation by one of our greatest religious scholars Since its publication in 1962, esteemed biblical expert G za Vermes's translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls has established itself as the authoritative standard.

Some sixty years after the Scrolls' discovery, this revised and expanded volume crowns a lifetime of research by Vermes.
