Tracing the Text Through Time

From Tablets to Torah Scrolls • 36m

In our final episode with Dr. Brian Rickett and Dr. Drew Longacre, Brian and Drew share important insights we have learned about the Bible from the science of paleography.

Learn how this amazing, detective-like work has helped us understand the way in which the biblical text been transmitted over time. What clues exist within the manuscripts that help paleographers determine their age and place of origin? What do the very earliest manuscripts tell us and are there passages within Scripture that illuminate how and when copying the text became more prominent?

Dr. Longacre also shares about his exciting, upcoming book on Psalm manuscripts from the Dead Sea Scrolls - and what the different arrangements and handwriting styles of those texts convey to us.

Lastly, Dr. Rickett relays, once more, how you can get the brand new MIKRA View app - as well as how you can have the MIKRA team come to your area to put on one of their scroll display events. These events have drawn people to connect with the biblical text in a profound way, viewing it in its ancient, artifact form.
