The People Described Talk by G. R. Driver
Professor of Semitic Philology at Oxford University
Thit is the second of two talks by Professor Driver on the scrolls discovered in 1947 in a cave at the north-western end of the Dead Sea. Although the date of these scrolls is still being debated the people to whom they refer are clearly portrayed, together with their practices and doctrine. Professor Driver discusses the content of the scrolls from this point of view and gives his opinion of the people described.
