Dead Sea Scrolls At Fort Worth Baptist Seminary"Paleo" refers to the Paleo-Hebrew script, the Second-Temple-era pastiche of the script used in the First Temple period.

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered over 60 years ago and are keys to biblical times.

The fragment is 14.5 centimeters long and 8 centimeters high. It was put on display for CBS 11 in the MacGorman Chapel. Seminary President, Dr. Paige Patterson, is thankful to have it.
