Interested in Biblical History? Learn about the DEAD SEA SCROLLS with EarthDiverse!

todd from EarthDiverse

Ever since their discovery in the 1940s the Dead Sea Scrolls have generated massive amounts of scholarly controversy. Even those outside the field of Biblical Studies tend to be vaguely aware of academic scandals, religiously motivated cover-ups and conspiracy theories. So what is it about the “most significant archaeological discovery of the 20th century” that has created so much controversy?

Join us for a 6-week seminar with Archeological Scholar Dennis Green, PhD on the history and intrigue of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Meets Wednesday nights beginning 22 March 2023, 7:00-8:30pm. Both in-person and via Zoom from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
