The Dead Sea Scrolls are not “Christian” documents.  By writing about them in this paragraph in the context of gospels that Constantine suppressed and by saying that “these documents” speak of the Grail and of Christ’s ministry, he wrongly asserts that the Dead Sea Scrolls have something to do with Christianity.  In fact, the Dead Sea Scrolls are Jewish literature.  There is not a single mention of Jesus, nor of the Grail (either as a chalice or as Mary Magdalene).  The Dead Sea Scrolls do not include any “gospels,” so they can hardly include gospels suppressed by Constantine or gospels that speak of the Grail or Christ in human terms.
