The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Christian myth

Book • 1764
In this book, John Marco Allegro examines the Dead Sea Scrolls and their implications for understanding early Christianity.

He suggests that the Christian tradition may have arisen from a misunderstanding of Essene texts and that Jesus Christ could be a fictional character based on a real figure from the 1st century BCE. Allegro's theories were widely criticized by the academic community.
