The Essenes : From Jesus to Our Time, Used [Paperback]

Since the archaeological discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1946, the word "Essene" has made its way around the world-often raising a lot of questions. Many people were astonished to discover that, two thousand years ago, a brotherhood of holy men, living together in a community, carried within themselves all of the seeds of Christianity and of future western civilization. This brotherhood-more or less persecuted and ostracized-would bring forth people who would change the face of the world and the course of history. Indeed, almost all of the principal founders of what would later be called Christianity were Essenes-St. Ann, Joseph and Mary, John the Baptist, Jesus, John the Evangelist, etc. Book jacket.
