The Ever Alive Dead Sea Scrolls

THIS WILL BE A HYBRID MEETING (in-person at TJC & via Zoom) To join this meeting on Zoom, please click HERE

The story of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947, and their subsequent publication in the years 1948 and following, has been told many times. And yet the story bears retelling time and again. We will present the story of the initial finds, the explorations of the caves, the excavations at Qumran, and the progress of scholarly work during the past 75 years. Though naturally, we also will look at the key documents themselves, with an eye to uncovering the salient features of the Essene community which produced these texts. Special attention will be paid to their unique theological positions, their relationship to other Jewish groups at the time, and their connections to early Christianity.

Gary A. Rendsburg is professor of biblical studies, Hebrew language, and ancient Judaism at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. He holds the rank of Distinguished Professor and serves as the Blanche and Irving Laurie Chair of Jewish History at Rutgers University (2004-present), with positions in the Department of Jewish Studies and the Department of History. Prior to teaching at Rutgers, Rendsburg taught for 18 years at Cornell University and for six years at Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y.
