The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls gave us a glimpse into Jewish life at the time of Jesus. What insights do they provide on how his teachings took shape?
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1946 has been called the greatest manuscript discovery of modern times. Some 100,000 fragments from around 900 manuscripts, dating from the third century B.C. to 68 A.D., were uncovered in clay pots tucked away in 11 caves in the West Bank’s Qumran region near the Dead Sea. Most scholars believe they were written and copied by a mystic Jewish sect known as the Essenes.
In addition, while the Dead Sea Scrolls provide insight into the specific Qumran community believed to be responsible for them, they also describe a broader range of ancient Jewish belief and practice.
There was a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible in circulation at that time, known as the Septuagint, that had been translated from Hebrew beginning in the third century B.C.
