Looks like everyone will be able to see the Dead Sea Scrolls if this story is on the mark<\/a>. For free no less. Of course the scrolls were a fascinating discovery, but the hype and the frenzy, and the myth that remains in the minds of some, turned out to be a dud. Much to the disappointment<\/span> of many, the scrolls merely showed a remarkable<\/span> accuracy rate for ancient texts, especially when set in juxtaposition to the development and transmission of other ancient writings. Many had hoped it would prove, once and for all, that the Bible had been so manhandled that if you could find ancient copies, it would prove that half the stories had been turned upside down. Not so much. The Dead Sea Scrolls showed that the Hebrew scriptures had been copied and transmitted with as much love and meticulous detail as the New Testament Scriptures. And despite what some, such as Bart Ehrman<\/span>, would have us believe, that is an amazingly accurate track record that our own modern times would do well to emulate.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
