Plot

This book is the final stage of the demonstration that the Christian Church originated in the Qumran community, the writers of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Teacher of Righteousness of the sectarian scrolls was John the Baptist, and the schismatic leader, who was called by many different pseudonyms, was Jesus. The story is told in both the scrolls and the gospels.
