The discovery of Dead Sea Scrolls between 1947 and 1956 was an epoch-making event for the study of the Bible, early post-biblical Judaism and the beginnings of Christianity. Written in Hebrew and Aramaic, and dating roughly from 200 B.C. to the mid first century A.D., they afford an unparalleled and revolutionary insight into Palestinian Jewish life and ideology at a very crucial period in the development of Jewish and Christian religious thought.
