The Dead Sea Scrolls
W HEN a shepherd boy found some scrolls in a cave near the Dead Sea, he startled the scholastic world. As other caves yielded up further material, a picture emerged of a pre-Christian community whose practices closely resembled Christian teachings and whose literature throws considerable light on the background of the Bible. For the BBC the Rev. H: H. Rowley, Professor of Semitic Languages and Literature at the University of Manchester, discussed the significance of the scrolls. His talk will be heard from 1YA on Sunday, December 1, and from 3YA on Tuesday, November 26.
