Dead Sea Scrolls

The Dead Sea Scrolls have been with us for 60th years. Some of the scrolls are found completely intact (all the chapters of the book are found in the scrol) while some others were broken off at the end or at the bottom. The majority of what has been discovered are fragments in hundred of pieces. Because it took a very long time to piece together the many fragments and decipher them, many conspiracies theories arose that those who studied the DSS knew about some dark secret and the church was now suppressing the truth from the rest.

for those interested to read the English translation of the DSS, one can look for the following:
