Book Synopsis The Promise of the Copper Scroll by : Alan Moss
Download or read book The Promise of the Copper Scroll written by Alan Moss and published by World Castle Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2024-07-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an early morning in July 2019, a minor quake unearths a copper scroll from the walls of a Qumran cave near the Dead Sea. The scroll finds its way to an antiquities dealer in Jordan and then to Professor Samuel Wadsworth at the Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey. If he can properly interpret the information on the scroll, Wadsworth believes it will lead to billions of dollars in gold, silver, and rare ornaments hidden in the year 70 AD to deny the invading Romans the valuable assets of the Second Temple. When word of the scroll’s discovery reaches the Iranians, they organize a terrorist team to locate, seize, and follow the scroll to its treasure. Three brave women pursue the copper scroll despite the terrorist violence surrounding it. Nancy Troll is a senior at Drexel University. She dedicates her senior project to researching the scroll and preparing a series of newspaper articles that may lead to her recognition as an up-and-coming reporter. Her intense love affair and witnessing of terrorist activity do not stand in the way of her dedication. Carol Stark is the secretary/assistant to Professor Wadsworth. She sees the scroll as a means to eliminate her family’s burdensome debt resulting from her husband’s uncontrolled betting on sports. Her complex scheme must withstand unpredictable barriers, including those launched by the Iranian terrorists. Joan MacLennan is the attractive Regional FBI Chief in charge of combatting the deadly violence plaguing the area by the Iranian terrorists. She must take decisive action to save the scroll from the Iranians and smooth its way to a New York City antiquities museum. Seeking the scroll becomes an unpredictable shell game with death and destruction facing each of the players.
Book Synopsis The Copper Scroll Project by : Shelley Neese
Download or read book The Copper Scroll Project written by Shelley Neese and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history behind the Copper Scroll and the true story of Jim Barfield’s quest for its treasure. Whether the objects are of legend or history, certain ancient mysteries arrest the imaginations of every generation. These antiquities refuse to be forgotten by the human spirit—hidden sufficiently to evade discovery, but historically prominent enough to leave a smattering of clues. Many explorers have fallen prey to fortune’s siren call, spending their lifetimes searching for the artifacts that promise to alter human history. The Copper Scroll Project is a relative newcomer to the modern treasure hunt. Part of the Dead Sea Scrolls collection, the Copper Scroll is unlike any of the leather and papyrus documents, though not simply for its copper plates. The relic reads like a coded map, listing dozens of hiding spots where tithes and vessels thought to be secreted from the Jewish Temple were stored for safekeeping. More than fifty years after archaeologists found this unique artifact in a cave near Qumran, four adventurers have dared to chase after the scroll’s priceless relics. “A unique introduction not only to a famous biblical mystery but to the world of American Christian interest in Israel, which remains opaque or bewildering to many outsiders, and is often caricatured.”—Matti Friedman, author of The Aleppo Codex “Equal parts mystery, treasure hunt and erudite elucidation of biblical history.”—Chanan Tigay, author of The Last Moses “Neese’s narrative pacing and story-telling is masterful. She gets the political and religious nuances of contemporary Israel.”—Elliot Jager, Jerusalem-based author and former editorial page editor at The Jerusalem Post

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book 4 in the bestselling 5-book thriller series that has sold over 1.2 million copies! In 1956, a scroll was uncovered that shocked the world. The world is about to be shocked again. On June 1, 1956, the New York Times broke a story that captured the imagination of the world. Another Dead Sea Scroll had been found, unlike any before it, describing unimaginable treasures worth untold billions buried in the hills east of Jerusalem and under the Holy City itself. In the years that followed, some scholars came to believe the Copper Scroll could be history’s greatest treasure map, one that could lead to the discovery of the Second Temple treasures and the building of the Third Jewish Temple. But the scroll’s code has never been broken, and experts from all sides warn that any effort by Israel to rebuild their Temple in Jerusalem would undoubtedly unleash a war of biblical proportions. Now, more than fifty years after the Copper Scroll was unveiled, New York Times bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg takes you on his most exciting and heart-pounding ride yet. Saddam Hussein is gone Yasser Arafat is dead A new Iraq is rising But so, too, is a new evil, and now White House advisors Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy find themselves facing a terrifying new threat triggered by an ancient mystery.

Book Synopsis The Mystery of the Copper Scroll of Qumran by : Robert Feather
Download or read book The Mystery of the Copper Scroll of Qumran written by Robert Feather and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-06-23 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduces a radical new perspective on the historical foundations of monotheism, based on the enigma of the Copper Scroll of the Essenes. • Confirms the link between ancient Judaism and the pharoah Akhenaten. • Decodes the system of measurements encrypted on the Copper Scroll that has confounded scholars for over 50 years, leading to the identification of fabulous lost treasures. • Points to a radical new understanding of the origins of monotheism. The famous Dead Sea Scrolls comprise the oldest collection of Biblical documents ever discovered. Of the Dead Sea Scrolls, none has baffled experts more than the 2,000-year-old Copper Scroll, discovered in 1952 by a team of Bedouin led by Henri de Contenson of the Ecole Biblique in East Jerusalem. Appearing to be a list of buried treasure engraved on copper pieces, the Copper Scroll is considered to be the work of a secretive Jewish sect of devout Essenes, who lived by the Dead Sea around the time of Jesus. No one has been able to explain its meaning or discover any of the 64 locations where the Biblical treasures it lists were buried. Robert Feather, combining his background as a metallurgist with his journalistic expertise, has unraveled the enigma of the Copper Scroll in a fascinating study that takes the reader on a journey from ancient Mesopotamia, through Canaan, into Egypt, and back to the shores of the Dead Sea. His exploration links the scroll to the ancient Egyptian king Akhenaten, confirming a long suspected influence of this pharaoh's religious beliefs on those of the Hebrews. The author's findings not only reveal the locations of most of the treasures listed on the Copper Scroll, but they also point to a radical new understanding of the origins of monotheism--the basis of the three great religions of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.

Book Synopsis THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS by : Edward D. Andrews
Download or read book THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS written by Edward D. Andrews and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unveiling one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, The Dead Sea Scrolls: What Is the Truth About the Dead Sea Scrolls? takes readers on a scholarly journey into the heart of these ancient texts. Discovered in the arid caves near the Dead Sea, these scrolls have captivated the world, offering unparalleled glimpses into a Jewish community from two millennia ago. But what do they truly reveal? Edward D. Andrews, a conservative Evangelical Christian Bible scholar, offers a comprehensive exploration of the Dead Sea Scrolls, meticulously examining their content, context, and significance. This book addresses crucial questions that have intrigued both scholars and believers: How do these scrolls compare with the Hebrew Bible? What insights do they provide into the religious practices and beliefs of their authors? And perhaps most controversially, do they have any connection to the origins of Christianity? Rejecting speculative theories that link the Essenes or the Qumran community with the early Christian movement, this book argues that any similarities between the Dead Sea Scrolls and New Testament teachings stem from their shared foundation in the Old Testament. Andrews carefully analyzes specific scrolls—such as the Great Isaiah Scroll, the War Scroll, and the Temple Scroll—translating and interpreting key passages to uncover their true meaning. The Dead Sea Scrolls: What Is the Truth About the Dead Sea Scrolls? is an essential resource for seminary students, pastors, and churchgoers who seek a deeper understanding of these ancient texts and their place within the broader narrative of biblical history. With rigorous scholarship and a firm commitment to biblical truth, this book provides clarity amidst the complex and often contentious debates surrounding the Dead Sea Scrolls. Discover the enduring significance of these ancient manuscripts and their impact on our understanding of the Bible today.
