The Dead Sea Scrolls will be at the Royal Ontario Museum on display from June 27, 2009 to January 03, 2010. I am going soon with some friends of mine and I cant wait. Here is the link below: http://www.rom.on.ca/scrolls/index.php
Summary taken from ROM (Royal Ont Museum)
The Dead Sea Scrolls are widely considered among the greatest archaeological finds of the past century. They include the earliest written sources for the Hebrew Bible (Christian Old Testament), as well as other less well known writings. Many of the ideas and beliefs contained in this collection of ancient parchments have resonated through the centuries and remain influential today. Indeed, they reflect the foundations of important religions such as Judaism and Christianity and have influenced Islam.
Dating from around 250 Before Common Era (BCE) to 68 Common Era (CE), the Scrolls include some 207 biblical manuscripts representing nearly all of the books in the Hebrew Bible (Christian Old Testament). Approximately 900 Scrolls were discovered; some almost entirely preserved and others in fragments. Together, they comprise one of the most important collections of writings ever discovered. The Scrolls are a collection of biblical writings, apocryphal manuscripts, prayers, biblical commentary and religious laws. Prior to the discovery of the Scrolls, the oldest known copies of biblical texts were written 1,000 years later.

I saw the Dead Sea Scrolls in Jerusalem. They are kept in a very impressive museum called the Shrine of the Book which was made in the shape of the lid of the clay jars in which they were found. Joanne

To Rod When in July? and Would you alowe some people (me and maybe 2 friends) to tag along with you to the museum? It would be intresting to see the exibit with a Pastor and especially since you know quite a bit about the scrolls. Maybe we can discuss some fossils as well. I do not want to be a bother to your planned trip since you will be there to film for Quick Study and you also do not know me that well but if its possible to tag along it would be awsome. Vlad
