About the author
Robert Feather is the author of two books examining the Essene community at Qumran and its links to early Christianity, published by Bear & Company: The Secret Initiation of Jesus at Qumran and The Mystery of the Copper Scroll of Qumran. The first argues for connections between the Qumran Essenes, John the Baptist, and the origins of Christianity, including a claimed account of John the Baptist's burial place. The second focuses on the Copper Scroll found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, proposing a link between it, the pharaoh Akhenaten, and the deeper history of monotheism, and offering a reading of the scroll's encoded measurements. Both books work at the intersection of biblical archaeology and speculative history, aimed at readers already interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls, Qumran, and alternative accounts of Christianity's origins rather than at scholars seeking a mainstream academic treatment.
