Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls for Judaism and Christianity

In 1947 a Bedouin shepherd discovered seven scrolls in a cave overlooking the northwest end of the Dead Sea. A further search found additional scrolls in eleven caves. In total there were more than 800 documents discovered.The scrolls found where more than a thousand years older than the oldest copies of scripture known to exist in the 1940ies.

Many theories have developed about the whereabouts and by whom written.There are even experts who believe the same people who wrote/transcribed many of the dead sea scrolls also wrote/transcribed documents discovered at Masada.

Adolfo Roitman, curator of the Shrine of the Book, which houses the Dead Sea Scroll collection at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, will discuss “The Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls for Judaism and Christianity” at Kent State University at 7 p.m. on Thursday in the Kent Student Center Kiva.

The lecture is presented by Kent State’s Jewish Studies program, with support from the College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Philosophy.  A dessert reception will follow the lecture. The event is free and open to the public.

French language websites

French language websites

Over the past few months the 2 CBM French language websites have been reworked by Bro Matt Barton (Pershore ecclesia) and have now been launched. www.christadelphes.fr gives information about the Christadelphians and lists our various French language publications, including articles from the "Héraut du Royaume magazine" a quarterly magazine in French distributed around the world.

www.lisezlabible.fr gives details of our Bible reading programme and enables direct access to the readings in French.

We would like to further extend the publicising of these sites through the various social networks available, but we don'€™t currently have the expertise to do this. 

If anyone reading this has a good working knowledge of French and a technical competence to maximize the publicity development potential available and also upload new material onto the sites periodically, we would love to hear from you.
