In 1947 a Bedouin shepherd boy uncovered an entire library of ancient scrolls that remained in a desert cave near the Dead Sea for two-thousand years. The revelation of the Dead Sea Scrolls would change forever modern Judaism's view of its history and modern Christianity's understanding of its roots. Here is the exciting story of that discovery, the half century of intrigue that followed, and the ancient Hebrew sect which had written, preserved and died defending these treasured works, which for them and countless others contained the Word of God. Approximately sixty of the manuscripts were translated into English. Eight-hundred could be read and there is evidence of fifteen-thousand total titles in this collection. This destroys the myth that we have the majority of the writings of the prophets in our Holy Bible.
