Martin G.
Abegg, Jr.
(b.
1950) is a notable Dead Sea Scrolls scholar, researcher, and professor.
Abegg is responsible for reconstructing the full text of the Dead Sea Scrolls from the Dead Sea Scrolls concordance, a project that broke the lengthy publication monopoly held on the scrolls.

Here, Abegg held the Ben Zion Wacholder Professorship.
Because Abegg is an influential Dead Sea Scrolls scholar, he has been honoured with a collection of essays written by his peers and students.
Abegg currently resides in Abbotsford, British Columbia with his wife, Susan.
Together they have two daughters.
