Christianity From Qumran? - Lester L Grabbe - December 1971

Lester L Grabbe

WAS CHRIST an Essene? Was John the Baptist? Did Christianity actually begin in a "monastic" commune in the wilderness near the Dead Sea? These very ideas have been advanced in pamphlets and articles. Yes, even whole books appeared on the subject in the first few years after the initial Dead Sea Scrolls find near Qumran in 1947. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
