Hershel Shanks Interviews Scholars on the Scrolls

Three video interviews with prominent Dead Sea Scrolls scholars
Weston W. FieldsGeorge J. BrookeJames H. CharlesworthSidnie White CrawfordJoseph A. Fitzmyer

Professors Weston W. Fields and George J. Brooke

This video features Hershel Shanks’s engaging interview with Dead Sea Scrolls experts Weston Fields and George Brooke, who present key findings about the scrolls and the fascinating story behind their study and interpretation. Shanks focuses on British scholar John Marco Allegro, a maverick and self-proclaimed publicist who contended the scrolls could relate to early doctrines of Christianity. Fields and Brooke also discuss the controversial letter written to and published in The Times (of London) by five Dead Sea Scrolls team members disassociating themselves from Allegro and his opinions. Later, they comment on the unique Copper Scroll with its Hebrew “treasure map” listing valuable lost items from the first-century C.E., likely from the Jerusalem Temple. Is the list fact, as Allegro passionately believed, or just a fantasy?
