HIGH POINT -- "The Dead Sea Scrolls Back to the Bible in America" exhibit, which broke attendance records in High Point last spring, is dead in Spartanburg, S.C.

Scheduled to open Friday in the Spartanburg Expo Center and run until Oct. 30, the exhibit's Web site notes that the exhibit has been canceled.

Debby Mason, of the Spartanburg Expo Center, confirmed that the exhibit was canceled. "They had legal matters that prohibited them from getting part of the exhibit," she said.

The Rev. Thom Miller of Mansfield, Ohio, who works with the exhibit, said last week in High Point that the exhibit was canceled because owners of the scroll fragments would not agree to make the fragments available.

Unless they've changed it, the title of the exhibit was actually "From the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Bible in America."
