| [slm] perhaps you have heard of them. [center][size=4]Dead Sea Scrolls[/size][/center] "In 1947 a group of children stumbled upon the first set of scrolls in a cave on the shores of the Dead Sea. These scrolls were immediately identified as the work of a very devout sect of the Jewish community that lived centuries before the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him). Hershel Shanks says in his book Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls: "Such was the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, manuscripts a thousand years older than the oldest known Hebrew texts of the Bible, manuscripts many of which were written a hundred years before the birth of Jesus and at least one of which may have been written almost three hundred years before the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethleham." (Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls, Hershel Shanks, pp. 7- 8 8)." below is a link to a scholarly but readable series of posts on the subject, on islamonline.net: [url]http://www.islamonline.net/Discussion/English/bbs.asp?aParID=207949&aTpID=207940&aGroupID=39073&action=move&aPathID=242&aSubject=Mr%2E+Rehmat%2C+A+Question [/url] i would love to post the entire series but wonder if internet ethics allow this, or does one have to obtain prior permission from the poster or the site? if anyone is aware of the rules, i will appreciate the knowledge. thanx |
