Dead Sea Scrolls
with Dr. John Bergsma
This course provides a brief introduction to the Dead Sea Scrolls: what they are, how they were found, what they contain, and their relevance to Judaism and Christianity. It will be based on the book, Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls: Revealing the Jewish Roots of Christianity, by Dr. John Bergsma, (New York: Penguin Random House, 2019).
In this enriching and engaging online course, Dr. John Bergsma guides participants through a fascinating exploration of the Dead Sea Scrolls, widely considered the greatest archaeological discovery of the modern era. Through clear and accessible teaching, Dr. Bergsma reveals how these ancient texts illuminate the early Church as a sacred community of hope, redemption, and salvation. More than just historical artifacts, the Dead Sea Scrolls serve as a time machine—transporting us back to the world of Jesus, deepening our appreciation of Scripture, and enriching our understanding of the Jewish roots of the Christian faith.
