This well-worn copy of Jean Danielou’s “The Dead Sea Scrolls and Primitive Christianity” offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of modern biblical scholarship. Published in 1958, just a few years after the initial discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, this work represents one of the first attempts to analyze the scrolls’ impact on our understanding of early Christianity. Danielou, a prominent French theologian and cardinal, brings his expertise in patristics and biblical exegesis to bear on this groundbreaking find, exploring how the scrolls shed light on the diverse religious landscape of the time and the origins of Christian thought. Despite its age and wear, this copy remains a valuable artifact for collectors interested in the history of biblical scholarship and the ongoing quest to unravel the mysteries of Christianity’s formative years.
