I really enjoyed this book
I love a good story, and this book was a great read. Even though it looked like a big book when I first picked it up, I got into it right away and finished it in a couple of plane rides. It's reminiscent of the movie Gladiator in setting and action, and is a really solid story, not your typical paperback action book you pick up in an airport newstand. I also definitely got into the characters, ...

Door of Hope: My Search for the Treasures of the Copper Scroll

Copper scroll
This paean to Mr. Jones' ego is not worth reading except for the snippets of background that is available in most reviews of the DS Scrolls anyway. Not recommended.

Exciting book for our day and age.
Joel Rosenberg is my kind of writer. I love political intrigue and he seems to be an expert in this genre. He certainly understands the mindset of the middle Eastern terrorist and the events he writes about have an uncanny way of actually happening later on. Scary at times!

Robert Feather Review
For some reason I always have trouble getting a review posted here. I've been trying all Summer to get posted. ...Anyway I will comment on Mister Feather rather than "Copper Scroll". After reading 'Jesus @ Qumran' and 'Copper Scroll', I realized that Robert Feather spends so much time in research that it's hard to believe that he writes so well and speaks to the layman in DSS study in such ...

Judah K. Lefkovits

Brill Academic Publishers, 1999

A flawed analysis
Judah Lefkovits is an acknowledged 'expert'on the Copper Scroll and this latest work, in gathering together previous publications by him and others, sets out the currrent position scholarship has reached. In this respect it is a comprehensive and useful survey. However, like many previous studies it resolves none of the puzzling aspects of what was, to the Qumran-Essenes, probably their most ...

The Ascension: A Novel

Breakneck Books, 2007

A Great Journey Through Fear and Faith
"The Ascension" by Michael G. Cornelius is truly a book that screams to be read. Following in the traditions of horror, suspense, and intrigue of such great authors as Dan Brown and Michael Crichton, "The Asension" takes readers on an extraordinary journey through fear and faith, leaving readers with a chill up their spines and a thirst for more. His characters are well thought out and ...

Thorsons Publishers, 1999

Shook the very foundations of my beliefs. Top class!
The most significant book on Biblical history this century. There are so many goodies in this riveting book as soon as I had finished reading it I started re-reading it! Not only does the author demonstrate where incredible treasure listed in the Copper Scroll, one of the Dead Sea Scrolls, is hidden he goes on to come to some truly remarkable conclusions about the Old Testament. Ever ...

Secrets of the Cave of Letters: Rediscovering a Dead Sea Mystery

Richard A. Freund

Humanity Books, 2004

Illusory secrets
There is no doubt Richard Freund and his team have made some important discoveries as a result of their excavations at Bethsaida in Galilee, and the Cave of Letters near the Dead Sea, but some of the assumptions from the latter work go far beyond the evidence. In fairness the author prefaces his book with the proviso that it is written as a popular work and not as a heavy scientific treatise - ...

The Copper Scroll And The Search For The Temple Treasure

Hershel Shanks

Biblical Archaeology Society, 2007

Somewhat Tarnished Copper
For a book that touts itself as bringing deserved attention to the Copper Scroll for the first time in 40 years, it has little new to say. What is interesting is Shanks' coverage of the Hyrcania tunnel excavations. Unfortunately, even here, this is hardly relevant to the Copper Scroll and he only tells half the story. As editor of Biblical Archaeology Review, Shanks is in a unique position ...
