Welcome to Dead Sea Scrolls 3204

WELCOME TO DEAD SEA SCROLLS 3204

Professor Alex Jassen's students have a unique opportunity this year to combine classroom learning with a field visit to the same 2000-year-old document they are studying. Jassen has been teaching Dead Sea Scrolls 3204 at the University of Minnesota for several semesters, and this year served as an academic adviser to the Science Museum of Minnesota in its current exhibit of the actual scrolls. The course studies, in-depth, the impact these scrolls have had on the study of religion, mainly Judaism and Christianity.
There's video too.

I am currently teaching my Dead Sea Scrolls class DI4712/13. (Yes, I know, the website is getting out of date.)
