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.<ref name="BIB">{{cite web|url=http://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-artifacts/dead-sea-scrolls/cast-of-characters/|title=Cast of Characters|work=Biblical Archaeology Society|date=2012-04-16}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title = BAS Publishes Dead Sea Scrolls {{!}} The BAS Library|url = http://members.bib-arch.org/publication.asp?PubID=BSBA&Volume=17&Issue=5&ArticleID=1|website = members.bib-arch.org|accessdate = 2015-12-04|date = 2015-08-24}}</ref> He went on to co-direct the Dead Sea Scrolls Institute at [[Trinity Western University]] from 1995 to 2015.<ref name="BIB" /> Here, Abegg held the Ben Zion Wacholder Professorship.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Dead Sea Scrolls Institute {{!}} Trinity Western University|url = https://www.twu.ca/research/institutes-and-centres/university-institutes/dead-sea-scrolls-institute/default.html|website = www.twu.ca|accessdate = 2015-12-04}}</ref> Because Abegg is an influential Dead Sea Scrolls scholar, he has been honoured with a collection of essays written by his peers and students.<ref>{{Cite book|title = The War Scroll, Violence, War and Peace in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Related Literature |url = http://www.brill.com/products/book/war-scroll-violence-war-and-peace-dead-sea-scrolls-and-related-literature
