The Dead Sea Scrolls


The Dead Sea Scrolls are a very fascinating find. There is a very interesting story behind the finding of these ancient scrolls that were scattered across the Judean desert more than a thousand years ago. They are actually the oldest copies of Biblical texts that have been found.
If you have any interest in reading the Dead Sea Scrolls for yourself, you can find many resources online about the Qumran community; who were the ones who had these scrolls all those years ago. A book that I own is "The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible" and it is a very good read because it gives you all the words of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it tells you where it differs from modern translations.
What do you all know about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and what resources can you find? Tell us in the comments.
