Can religious texts be changed by the scribe copying them down? Associate Professor of Religious Studies Molly Zahn's new book Genres of Rewriting in Second Temple Judaism explores the evolution of religious texts in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Listen as she talks about her research, path to KU, how studying religious studies can help students prepare for a future beyond the classroom, and more on our September edition of Unwinding.
