CLERGY ARE INTERVIEWED about the Dead Sea Scrolls in the latest from the Seattle Post Intelligencer:

Scrolls' fragments bring religions together
Christians, Jews join in honoring ancient texts

Excerpt:

Aside from their archaeological significance, the biblical portions of the Dead Sea Scrolls -- the Hebrew Bible for Jews, the Old Testament for Christians -- hold deep spiritual value for both faiths.

A half-dozen local synagogues and churches have reserved the exhibit for private showings. Many more have booked group tours, planned scroll sermons or invited scroll experts to give lectures.

Some clergy say the discovery reinforces their faith, underscores the accuracy of Bible translation and, particularly for Christians, provides a reminder of the link between Judaism and Christianity.
