Summary

Shifting Sands: Gospel Thrillers that center on new “Dead Sea Scrolls” amplify but also contain conspiratorial anxieties focused on the ambiguous Westernness of Israel as a site of biblical origins and discovery. The Jewishness of Jesus is also probed in this set of Gospel Thrillers, often embodied in the religious ambiguity of their protagonists.
