Unscrolled | Episode 33: Dead Sea Scrolls — What’s Still Hidden in the Texts

• Episode description: 

• Most people don't know that for decades, 75% of the Dead Sea Scrolls never saw the light of day. In this episode, Professor Lawrence Schiffman of NYU unpacks the messy human story behind why, how most Bible scholars still ignore the scrolls entirely, and how he spent his career fighting against the Christianization of these ancient Jewish texts. Tune in and hear it all and more — straight from one of the world's leading Dead Sea Scrolls scholars.
