--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This may be asked elsewhere, but my searches produced no indication 
of it. The Moderator(s) should feel free to move this elsewhere if 
appropriate.

I was wondering what specific books, talks, etc. exist that discuss 
the Dead Sea Scrolls. What are the authoritative works? And what has
been written with a Mormon point of view? 

I've found some of what Nibley has said, but only in bits and
pieces. Has he written anything that is primarily about the Scrolls?

Thanks for any info.

	Tree of Life Productions (see note 125.9) has the following tapes by Einar C. Erickson. I've heard some of the tapes, and Erickson is an impressive speaker. However, I know nothing about his background and hence his credibility to discuss these topics. ************************************************************************** The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Mormon Church #50 $4.95 Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls 53 4.95 Doctrine & organization of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Restoration 78 4.95 Erickson has discussed other documents.

161.4	the tapes are good, but there is a caveat ...	MIZZOU::SHERMAN	socialism doesn't work ...	`Wed Sep 07 1988 16:30`	9
	My understanding, if you'll pardon the informality, is that Einar Erickson is not very credible as an archaeologist. Basically, he picks and chooses theories about the writings and interprets them with a strong bias toward the Scriptures. It is interesting to hear the tapes, and the points made could be valid. But, the processes used, resulting conclusions and other claims made would not, in my opinion, hold up well in a scientific forum. Steve
