DEAD SEA SCROLLS

A Professor Boley from Milsaps College spoke to us on the dead sea scrolls. We have seen the museum in Jeruselem where they are housed. Of course many parts are in other places now and on exibit all over the world, I wish I could have heard him before we saw them. I would have appreciated seeing them more then. He was a good teacher. You really have to have a passion to do the work he did. We saw the cave where the first scrolls were found. Many were found in as many as 10 or more caves since the first was found in I think he said 1947, I enjoyed it. My it is hot here--I think I will stay indoors till at least September.
