«La polémica de los manuscritos del mar Muerto» is Neil Asher Silberman's essay on history and religion, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback.
The book explores the disputes and distortions surrounding the Qumran Scrolls, the so-called Dead Sea manuscripts. Silberman shows how the interpretation of these texts was conditioned by the religious and academic interests of Jews and Christians, and how it influenced the current reading of the origins of both traditions.
The work bears the subtitle «Juegos de poder y tergiversaciones entre judíos y cristianos» and appeared in 1995.
For readers interested in the history of religions and academic debates on the Qumran manuscripts.
