Dead Sea Scrolls

The Temple Scroll.

Everyone has heard of the Scrolls, but what do they actually say? These selected articles focus on the Scrolls themselves, how they’ve affected several scholars who have dedicated their professional lives to studying them, the nature of the site near which they were found, and what they teach us about early Christianity.

The articles below were hand-selected by the Biblical Archaeology Review editors especially for members of the BAS Library.
