The Scroll is about a group of archaeologists gathered together in Jeruselem by trusted Professor Ben-Judah and a well known billionaire without regard for anything but trustworthiness and their individual abilities. Their abilities on archeology that is. They have reasons to both hate and love each other but they all agree that for talent there is none better than Dr. David Chambers, Dr Amber Rogers and Dr Nuri Aumann. Especially if one combines their talent with that of Dr. Ben-Judah and the ability to work with money never being a concern and all the newest scientific inventions at their disposal. The goal of this group is to find the Copper Scroll's list of temple artifacts which has an Indian Jones sound but follows a scientific-Biblical archaeology storyline rather than the blood and snakes of the movie. This story has a love interest but the business of the story is the archaelogy digging and proving the Bible history in acuracy. It lets the reader in on the politics of the day and some of the reasons for the customs.
I loved the book and couldn't put it down. It realistically takes the reader into Isreal and the mysteries of the land and the Bible. I was on the edge of my chair many times not being able to turn the pages quickly enough. The twists and turns of the storyline holds the readers interest in a way that just a mystery cannot. It lets the reader know the importance of having a strong Christian faith in times of the difficulties of life. It lets the reader know that God loves us when we are trying our best and when we are not. You just have to read this book.
