Ce livre nous plonge dans une réflexion magistrale autour de la foi, du dogme et de l'emprise des religions. En lisant, c'est plutôt un sens caché, intérieur, appelant à l'introspection, qui fait irruption en nous. Les chandelles, au nombre symbolique de 7, sont propices à l'introspection. Le livre est posé sur un fauteuil de velours doré comme pour rappeler la magnificence des Rois d'Israel, la grandeur des trésors cachés de l'Antiquité....
While sifting through boxes in search for my late 19th century Russian history & literary books, figured I‘d show some red & pink covered books for #February
pickBrief, well written introduction to the Dead Sea Scrolls, controversies and different interpretations of their content. I particularly enjoyed the Chapters The Essenes, The Scrolls and Christianity and The Scrolls and Judaism. Each chapter ends with further reading suggestions. Great for people - like me - who dont know much about the Dead Sea Scrolls. Fascinating topic.

Since I mentioned the KiR challenge on my bingo card, here are my options to fill that square! The challenge is on Habitica; it's actually called "Keeping It Real", and each month a new Dewey decimal category is picked, and you need to read at least one book from it for a chance to win. This month, the 200s, religion. The library catalogue had none of these in the suggestions but I dug them up today! Not sure which first.
pickIt‘s hard to review manuscripts like this, the introductory material was fascinating for the history and social structure of the sect but there was a lot of long bits about manuscript variants that would be useful to study but hard to read. The theology was amazing, the insight into the laws was amazing, bits that were just individual words on fragmentary manuscripts were disjointed for non academic readers but can‘t be helped. I‘m glad I read it
Not sure this is passing the sniff test......
