The Dead Sea Scrolls—What They Really Say Adapted from an Illustrated Lecture by Hershel Shanks What are the Dead Sea Scrolls? Why are they important? Hershel Shanks, editor of Biblical Archaeology Review and a major figure in the fight to free the Dead Sea Scrolls from the control of a small group of scholars, guides you through this fascinating and important subject. Learn where the Scrolls were found and by whom, how they came to be acquired (some were even offered for sale through an ad in the Wall Street Journal!) and, most important, how they add to our knowledge of how the Bible was formed and how they illuminate our understanding of Christianity and Judaism.
