This talk is a preview of his book "The Story of the Scrolls" which is a must for anyone interested in the subject of Qumran. He must have felt quite vindicated to outlive so many who frustrated the Scrolls project.

It's great to be able to see the esteemed Professor Geza Vermes lecture on YouTube--so brilliant! I agree; it's a treat to see one of the most unique Judeo-Christian scholars of our time. I just purchased his book, "Jesus The Jew," which I look forward to reading, because after I completed "Jesus Through Jewish Eyes" I was hungry for more information.

Thanks so much for posting. I've never seen Vermes speak before. Charming man whose mixed background makes him one of the most unique and appealing Judeo-Christian scholars of the time. Love the tie.
