The Dead Sea Scrolls by Ilene Cooper

Grade: 5-8

Summary: A young shepherd would soon find the greatest archaeological treasure of the twentieth century; but that was not his intent. He was exploring, hoping to find gold or jewels as he climbed the barren cliffs surrounding the Dead Sea. He certainly was not interested in earthen jars and crumbling fragments of scrolls.....

While tracing the history and significance of the scrolls,this book proceeds chronologically from their discovery in 1947 to the present (developments have not ceased) with occasional excursions back into the distant past to bring the makers (or keepers) of the scrolls to life.
