This landmark series reflects the discoveries made in the Judean desert from 1947 to 1956 and the analysis and research that has been done on these texts and archaeological findings. Prior to these discoveries, the oldest biblical manuscripts of many of the texts in existence dated from c. 920, the biblical texts analyzed in this series are from c. 150 B.C.E., over a millennium older than what was believed to be the oldest in existence. A number of sectarian texts were completely unknown to the modern world.

The controversy and delay over the publication of these groundbreaking and historical findings has been well documented.
