What do we know about this secretive religious order, living in strict seclusion in the middle of the Judean desert? Who was the revered leader they looked to, how was the sect organized, and what were the conflicts they endured? This enthralling episode in the Dead Sea Scrolls series contains the riveting answers.

The Dead Sea Scrolls: The Scrolls and the Biblical Text
What do the Dead Sea Scrolls tell us about the biblical text? It's important to note that among the scrolls we have at least fragments from each and every book of the Hebrew Bible, with the exception of the book of Esther. We also have the entire book of Isaiah, all 66 chapters, as well as a partial copy of the same text. Furthermore, enhanced carbon dating techniques, which make it possible to conclusively place the great bulk of these biblical texts in the first two centuries B.C.E. The very existence of the scrolls opens a window on the text of the Bible that predates all other copies of the sacred books by more than 1,000 years...https://ypsnetiv.org

The Dead Sea Scrolls: The Copper Scroll Saga
Very little serious archaeology involves the adventure and raw excitement of an Indiana Jones adventure. But among the items found by archaeologists in the year 1952, in a cave not far from the Dead Sea, was a most unusual scroll, made not of parchment but of copper. It’s time for the real-life saga of the Copper Scroll! https://ypsnetiv.org

The Dead Sea Scrolls: Songs of Sabbath Sacrifices
The Dead Sea Scrolls shed new light on the unique genre of ancient Jewish mysticism, known as kabbalah, which until now has only been preserved in documents dating from early medieval times. Of course, the contents of this literature are far older, and were certainly passed down by word of mouth, long before being recorded in medieval sources. Now, thanks to a single Dead Sea Scroll, we have a clear reference to the kind of mysticism called in Hebrew merkavah, referring to chariot-throne of God.https://ypsnetiv.org

The Dead Sea Scrolls: Psalms and Commentary
Beyond ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible and commentaries on the Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls contain a wealth of original, sectarian writings. For example there are a number of previously unknown non-biblical psalms, scattered across a scroll containing the standard Psalms from the Hebrew Bible. Additionally, there is yet another scroll, one of the original scrolls discovered by the Bedouin in 1947, comprising an entire book of extra-biblical psalms. The literary plot only thickens… https://ypsnetiv.org

The Dead Sea Scrolls: Dead Sea Commentaries
Amazing, that as well-known as the Dead Sea Scrolls are, relatively few people have any idea of what's in them. Basically, we can break down the contents of the scrolls into a few categories. We have: scripture, hymns, ordinances and laws, and apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, along with a few miscellaneous texts. Aside from this unique cache of biblical books, there are also a significant number of commentaries on the Bible, focusing on prophecy and the “end of the world.”https://ypsnetiv.org
Customer Reviews
Dead Sea Scrolls with Kenneth Hanson review
The content of this podcast is very good, and I appreciate the recitation of the scrolls in their original Hebrew (or is it Aramaic?). There are a few things that really distract from the content, though. First, the dramatic background music throughout makes it hard to hear or focus on the narration. Second, the Poirot detective voice is confusing and unnecessary. Finally, when the scrolls are read in their original language, a translation of what’s been said needs to be clearly provided. Without it, the listener is lost (unless they speak Hebrew/Aramaic). I like the podcast and would like to continue listening but these distractions take away from an otherwise very good podcast.
