In reply to Any Essenes here?, posted by Cass on May 29, 2004, at 1:23:05
Is that an anciend Judaic/Christian religion? Weren't they around at the time of Masada, and didn't they have something to do with the writings at Quamran? It seems I read somewhere that there were several Christian sects struggling to survive the first century AD and the Essenes were one of them. Does anyone know how many early branches there were before the one we know today won out? I'm curious too.
