Dead Sea Scrolls Now Online

Most Christians have heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls and their importance to biblical scholarship, but few have ever actually seen them. Now, that no longer has to be the case. The Israel Museum has teamed up with Google to not only make the images of the scrolls available digitally, but to make them searchable with interactive English translation.  Not only can you search the text on the Museum’s website, but now it will show up in Google search results (including in custom search results on soulliberty.com) as well.  They have even put a little bit of “flare” to it by animating the paper appear to be unrolling as you scroll through it.  Check it out here: http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/
