Few archaeological discoveries have had as profound an impact on biblical studies as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Unearthed between 1947 and 1956 in the caves of Qumran near the Dead Sea, these ancient manuscripts provided an unprecedented window into Jewish life, theology, and Scripture during the Second Temple period. Their significance lies not only in their antiquity but in their remarkable alignment with the Hebrew Scriptures preserved in later centuries, affirming the textual integrity of the Bible with striking clarity.

The Dead Sea Scrolls serve as a testament to God’s providential preservation of His Word, offering invaluable insight into the world in which Jesus and the early church emerged.
