John Bergsma discusses the Jewish roots of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

 

The Jewish Roots of Christianity Revealed in the Dead Sea Scrolls

The Dead Sea Scrolls were first discovered in 1947 and are some of the most well-preserved ancient documents, and a new study at MIT examined how they were written and why they have been preserved for so long. What is written on these ancient texts? What does it reveal about the Jewish roots of Christianity? We talk with John Bergsma.

John Bergsma is Professor of Theology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. He's the author most recently of Jesus and the Old Testament Roots of the Priesthood and is also the co-author with Brant Pitre of A Catholic Introduction to the Bible: Old Testament. Dr. Bergsma speaks regularly for parish missions, diocesan conferences, clergy convocations, and other events nationally and internationally.
