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.

Dr. John Bergsma is Vice President for Biblical Theology and Mission Effectiveness at the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology and Professor of Theology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he has taught Scripture since 2004. He is the author of many books, most recently Jesus and the Jubilee: The Biblical Roots of the Year of God’s Favor.
