Publisher's Summary

This extraordinary document represents a new form of historical research and straightens out many open questions and misinterpretations. It takes the form of direct dialogues between a modern researcher and a member of the Qumran Essene community. Alive around the time of Christ, this community has become the focus of ideas about the connection of Jesus' teachings to earlier traditions. This book gives a full description of the nature and purpose of the community and the birth and upbringing of Jesus and John the Baptist. Also, it gives Essene renderings of Key Old Testament stories concerning Moses, Ezekiel, Daniel, and others, plus startling insights into ancient history. This information is candid and for real, even about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and many Biblical images and statements are corrected and added to.

Dolores' work is incredible

I can't get enough of Dolores work, however the narrator's didn't do it justice whatsoever. especially the man narrating. he ought to at least try having a thick middle eastern accent, not a not an American accent which is painful to listen to!

insightful

surely challenged some of my dogmatic mindset and opened myself to this journey I've been on for many years in this lifetime. many more lessons and insightful awakenings of awareness and goodwill to all seminal beings.

Don’t judge the book by the cover

I put off reading this book as the cover gave the impression of an overly religious recount. However, this book rivals my favourite DC books and is not only entertaining, but informative, easy to follow and engaging. I couldn’t stop listening once I started and I’m glad I gave it a chance. 10/10

Beautiful story and impressive recount of the past

Beautiful story and impressive recount of the past, first time in my life I hear so much about the Essenes but a mix of synchronicities lead me to this audiobook.

Brilliant and interesting

I’ve always been one for learning a different perspective. I thought this book was supremely interesting. Even if you don’t believe a word of it, I think it’s a brilliant read!

Amazing truth reveal about Jesus

The story dragged on mostly about the Essennes, with on the last 5% actually aboutthe life of Jesus. The part about Jesus was very enlightening and brings me back to believing in him again, now that I know the facts, instead of being lied to by the dogmatic church system.
Big negative: The horrible southern American accent of the male reader was a terrible mistake mismatch, causing me to fast-forward over much of the audio book. Sounded like an evangelical preacher talking, very off putting.

The Essenes and Jesus

should have been the name of the book, as its a lot more about them than Jesus. Jesus's part takes maybe 25 percent of the book. great book otherwise
