Providential Accidents   Geza Vermes
Deeply interesting autobiography of one of the world’s foremost scholars of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the historical Jesus.. He is chatty, gracious, and a little emotionally distant. Would have been nice to know what it was like for him to go from lifelong celibacy to falling in love and getting married. I loved his discussions of his life of scholarship. I’ve always enjoyed books like this, and I really liked this one.
