Jesus, the Galilean Teacher, who spoke Aramaic and taught like the Jewish teachers of his day, was an Essene, even to the point of being the Teacher of Righteousness restored to life?
Several authors tried to emphasize, each in his own way, the importance of the manuscripts: some to understand the fictitious Jesus of the Gospels as an adaptation of the Master of Justice; leaving aside the basic data, they identify key words thanks to a very particular use of the Qumranite pešer genre: John the Baptist = the Teacher of Justice, Jesus = the wicked Teacher, Qumran = Jerusalem, etc. Others, to establish a New Age philosophy or religion devoted to esotericism, etc.
Finally, after 60 years of investigations, what revelations do these manuscripts hold on the birth of Christianity?
