"The new edition is somewhat expanded and brought up to date. The
success and usefulness of Campbell's introduction is further
demonstrated in a Polish translation of the work." Journal of
Jewish Studies
Praise for the First Edition:
"Without being sensational, of all the popular introductions on
the market this one explains best how revolutionary the discovery
of the Scrolls really was."– Professor P. R. Davies, in
Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
"In Deciphering the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jonathan Campbell, an established expert on Qumran, has written for students and the general reader a clear, well researched, balanced and highly informative account of the discovery of the Scrolls, the debates surrounding them, and their significance for a better understanding of ancient Judaism and the beginnings of Christianity." – Professor G. Vermes, author of The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English
