Description of Lecture

The initial discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls just over 70 years ago is undoubtedly one of the most important finds of the 20th century. The scrolls are both the earliest manuscripts of texts found in the Hebrew Bible and some of the most informative examples of Jewish sectarian literature. The varied documents embody a long tradition of scribal activity stretching back hundreds of years into the days of the Israelite monarchy. In addition to exploring scribal techniques in ancient Israel, Dan Pioske and Jason Tatlock will address some of the unique material contained within the Dead Sea Scrolls, such as early references to Suffering Messianism and the Binding of Isaac or Akedah.
