The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Secret Life of the Original Christians

The Ancient Essenes

By: Raymond W. Bernard PhD

Narrated by: Chiquito Joaquim Crasto

In this classic of "fringe" literature, Raymond W. Bernard PhD lays out the pros and cons of that argument that Jesus Christ was an Essene and that the "facts" around his life and crucifixion were manipulated by the secret sect.

Features an introduction by the enlightened thinker Commander Valiant Thor, one of the world's foremost experts on the subject.

Worth a try

It did not intrest me as much as I thought but still interesting and worth the few bucks.

Misleading, unfounded

I realized very early this author has a strong anti-Christian bias and states many things which are unfounded and easily discredited through proper objective research. This was just within the first 5 minutes, and based on reading other reviews I don’t think it gets much better.
There are some credible scholars related to the Dead Sea Scrolls such as Dr. James H. Charlesworth of Princeton which I’d recommend, among others.

Biased. Don’t buy it!

“Proof of Darwin’s theory” within the first few minutes. And quoting newspaper articles to defend a position all within the first ten minutes. Don’t waste your money.

Disappointed

The author gives his opinion but offers no proof.
I would not recommend this book. It is poorly written. Much of the one long chapter (less than 2 hours on audible) is repeats of the same statements. Poorly written and offers no proof/references. Big disappointment!

boring

I didnt finish it. got 53 minutes in hoping it would get better. my expectation was that it would give clarification about what we currently believe about the Bible but it was just long, boring, and repetitive.
