Photographs and Commentary on a Unique Collection of Scrolls

Buy Print

During the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies and Brigham Young University hosted an exhibit of scrolls and scroll replicas, including some scrolls that had never been seen in the United States.

Ancient Scrolls from the Dead Sea provides photographs of each of the five original Dead Sea Scrolls in that exhibit as well as commentary on each artifact from a Latter-day Saint perspective. This booklet does the same for the three replicas of scrolls and seven photographs of scrolls that were in the exhibit.
