Dead Sea Scroll Video Game

The Dead Sea Scrolls come to vivid and surreal life in the new, elaborately named video game, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. Read the story in the USA Today.

Dead Sea Scroll Fragments

Some Dead Sea Scroll fragments have been put on display at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary it purchased from a private collector. The school isn't saying how much was paid but is negotiating for more ancient documents. The fragments include passages from the books of Exodus, Leviticus and Daniel. The only other schools with fragments are the University of Chicago and Azusa Pacific University in California, making Southwestern the only evangelical seminary in the nation to have fragments with biblical text.

Scrolls Going Online

A project is underway to digitally photograph all the Dead Sea Scrolls and put them on the Internet. Infrared photography will be used by the Israeli Antiquities Authority to make the oldest known version of the Hebrew Bible available to both scientists and the public in about five years.

Dead Sea Scrolls Display

A very old section of the Dead Sea Scrolls rarely seen in public will be on display in May during Israel's 60th anniversary celebrations. The fragment is more than 2000 years old and include Psalm 133. "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity."
