Allegro was a linguist and one of the original members of the team that deciphered the Dead Sea Scrolls. He dedicated 14 years to this project, which provided him with an in-depth understanding of ancient languages, biblical texts, and cultural practices of the time. As an ordained minister who turned agnostic, he approached his studies with a sense of detachment—aiming to uncover truths rather than uphold particular doctrines.
