Description

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has revolutionized our understanding of the beginnings of the Jewish and Christian faiths and the indebtedness of these groups to earlier Israelite traditions found in the Bible.

Explore the treasure trove of information found in the Dead Sea Scrolls about the rituals, practices, and theology at the root of the Judeo-Christian world.

Adult offerings are funded in part by the Barbara and Malcolm L. Sherman Fund for Adult Programs and by the David and Marion Ellis Endowment Fund.
