Gary Rendsburg, Distinguished Professor & Blanche and Irving Laurie Chair of Jewish History at Rutgers University, joins host Matthias Walther. Together, they discuss how language shapes the way we read the Bible. In this episode of “Unscrolled,” we’ll explore scribal precision, textual variation in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the revival of Hebrew through Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. Get ready to gain a deeper understanding of how Scripture was preserved, why it invites interpretation, and how ancient Hebrew continues to speak with clarity today.
Want to see the Dead Sea Scrolls up close and in-person? They are now on display at Museum of the Bible. “Dead Sea Scrolls: The Exhibition” is open through September 7, 2026. Get tickets here: (link).
