Tomorrow Wednesday at 6 p.m., Centro Sefarad-Israel will host a conference by Professor Adolfo Roitman, director of the Shrine of the Book and curator of the Dead Sea Scrolls, in which he will analyse the contributions that these documents offer to the history of christianity.
The central manuscripts of the Qumran Library, also known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, are preserved in the Jerusalem Shrine of the Book, within the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. A total of 972 documents written mainly in Hebrew and Aramaic, some of them considered to be the earliest record of the biblical text found to date. These documents provide valuable information and descriptions of great use in understanding and learning more about the origins of christianity. The lecture will be made available online via the Centre’s Youtube channel.
