As a gradate in Near Eastern Studies I quite enjoyed these essays. They are thought provoking, well researched, and shed new light on the Bible. The essays strengthen my belief in the Bible and let you know that there is a lot more to be had.
One of Nibleys Best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book was very insightful in how the primitive church worked in Old testament times. In this book Nibley describes some of the writtings of the Dead Sea scrolls and other books which was nice. The first part is kind of dry but after the 3rd chapter or so it picks up. The rest of the chapters make this book worth every penny.
Fascinating book to read

Nibley compares modern Christianity with findings from the Dead Sea Scrolls and proves that second to none, the LDS Church is the keeper of the ancient philosophies, rites, and beliefs. It becomes also apparent that ancient science knew a lot more than is currently believed. Modern physics is only now unearthing some facts that the ancients knew (as demonstrated in the Scrolls) about the universe, its size, its underlying laws, etc.
