T

his site does not accept the Essene hypothesis, which most scholars use it in their analyses, for I believe that it is not a well-founded approach at all (see my introductory remarks). Besides a number of my own papers here, I have attempted to supply all the basic ancient source materials for the Essenes so that people can decide for themselves. There are also a number of other resources that you might find useful.

The following are papers I have written on varous dss related matters:

A non-Essenes introduction to the scrolls.
A brief essay on the important passage from Pliny on the Essenes.
An essay proposing an early date for the depositation of the scrolls.
A short analysis of certain late datings from C-14 testing (old).
An analysis of the first column of the Damascus Document.
Some history at the start of the War Scroll.
An introduction to the Copper Scroll.
Qumran coins and site occupation.

Reading the Kittim as Kittim.
