More on the SWBTS DSS event

THE BAPTIST PRESS has a report on the recent unveiling of the Paleo-Leviticus fragment at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary: Seminary readies for Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit.

Inside the MacGorman Chapel's Phillips library, media were shown a copy of Paleo-Leviticus, Southwestern Seminary's newest Dead Sea Scroll fragment, which dates back to as early as 150 B.C. and contains writing in one of the earliest Hebrew scripts. Additionally, media interviewed Southwestern's scholars responsible for researching the fragments.

Southwestern Seminary will host the Dead Sea Scrolls & the Bible exhibition in its MacGorman Chapel from July 2 to January. It will feature 16 scroll fragments, including Southwestern Seminary's own collection as well as scroll fragments and artifacts related to the discovery on loan from Israel, Jordan and private collectors. The exhibition expects to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to Fort Worth. More details can be found at seethescrolls.com.
