SUMMARY:The Qumran Library: Scribes and Scrolls
DESCRIPTION:Join Museum of the Bible\, in person or via Zoom\, for our speaker series focusing on topics related to Dead Sea Scrolls: The Exhibition. \nThe Qumran scroll corpus is the largest subset of the Judean Desert scrolls\, but much about it remains mysterious. Why were the scrolls deposited in the caves surrounding Khirbet Qumran? Who put them there? Are they a random or a deliberate collection? In this lecture\, Dr. Sidnie White Crawford will argue that the Qumran scrolls are one collection\, a scribal library belonging to the community of Jews that inhabited Khirbet Qumran\, and that they were deposited in the caves by that community throughout its existence in the first century BCE and first century CE\, until its destruction by the Romans in 68. The most likely identification for this community is a settlement of the larger Essene movement\, active in Second Temple Judaism. \nTickets include museum admission\, but do not include admission to Dead Sea Scrolls: The Exhibition. Guests who attend this lecture will receive 10% off the price of the other lectures. The discount code will be included in your receipt.
