The Dead Sea Scrolls and Christian Origins Library

The general editor of the series is Prof. James H. Charlesworth, one of the world's leading experts on the Dead Sea Scrolls. You can see him on the forthcoming television special "Traders of the Lost Scrolls" on The Learning Channel. He has personally selected the titles in the series both for their scholarship and their accessibility to non-specialists.

There are three ways to get these books.

1. You can order each book as it is published for $8.95 plus p/h ($3.00 in the US).

2. You can enter a standing subscription order. You will automatically receive each book as it is published along with an invoice for $6.71 plus p/h ($3.00 in the US). This is a savings of 25%!

3. You can order a prepaid subscription and receive the first twenty volumes with no further charges whatsoever. Prepaid subscriptions are $129.95 for US customers (Texas customers must also pay sales tax). There is an additional $20 charge for prepaid subscriptions mailed to addresses outside the U.S.

The Library makes a great gift for any occasion. Order a prepaid gift subscription and we'll send the recipient a card in your name and the first twenty volumes as they are published. If you wish, the card can be sent to arrive just before the holiday you specify.
