Jesus the Essene Review This is an interesting book, although somewhat dated stylistically. The author gives a great deal of detailed and informative background information about the Essenes of the time, and how their teachings contrasted--or were similar--to Jesus'. Although it greatly pre-dates the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls, it's fascinating to note how the current scholarship on the subject bolsters or confirms the author's conclusions. A very interesting and enlightening read!. Thought Prevoking I loved this book, made me think and pray. Answered lots of questions. As believers I think we need to seek and learn more of our Saviors life.. "Interesting! A good read." according to Amazon Customer. The book was very interesting and gave much info on the Essenes' life. I didn't care for the last part of the book. The author got off course and gave his opinion of Jesus life instead of sticking to the life of the Essenes.
