The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception.
New York, NY: Touchstone, 1993. Reprint. Softcover. Octavo. xx + 268pp. Printed Wrappers. Index & bibliography. B/w plates & map. From the publisher: "Baigent and Leigh set out to discover how a small coterie of orthodox biblical scholars gained control over the Scrolls, allowing access to no outsiders and issuing a strict "consensus" interpretation. The authors' questions begin in Israel, then lead them to the corridors of the Vatican and into the offices of the Inquisition. With the help of independent scholars, historical research, and careful analysis of available texts, the authors reveal what was at stake for these orthodox guardians: The Scrolls present startling insights into early Christianity -- insights that challenge the Church's version of the facts." From the collection of occult scholar and author, Stephen Skinner, with his ownership signature "Stephen" on the first page. Pages toned, particularly at front and rear, otherwise a tight, clean VG+ copy. Item #58137
