520    This book sheds light on the almost-forgotten Jewish sect 
       of the Essenes, a radical religious group with striking 
       parallels to the first Christians. The library of these 
       devout worshipers is known to moderns as the Dead Sea 
       Scrolls, the only surviving Jewish documents written 
       before or during the lifetime of Jesus. Bergsma reveals 
       how the Judaism of this sect influenced the beliefs, 
       sacraments, and practices of early Christianity, 
       eventually transforming the Roman Empire and Western 
       civilization. Curious details and often ignored oddities 
       in the Gospels and other New Testament books suddenly make
       sense and come to life against the backdrop of the Dead 
       Sea Scrolls, which reveal a kind of Judaism unknown to 
       most readers today. --Book jacket.
