Another entry into Raymond Robert Fischer’s writing exploits proves half excellent, and half letdown. Full Circle involves the hows and whys of the Essene Dead Sea Scroll beliefs–at least for about half the book. The highlight comes when Fischer begins to quote Dead Sea Scroll fragments and puts them next to their Biblical equivalent in the first hemisphere of the work. Everything there fits together nicely and is done in a scholarly fashion. Some time before that is spent on discussing the Pharisees and Sadducees and who they were and what they believed. This is all excellently covered and executed.
