(In 1947, the world's attention turned to the Middle East ...)
In 1947, the world's attention turned to the Middle East where some young Bedouin children had discovered the now famous Dead Sea Scrolls. Here were materials at least 1,000 years older than any biblical, manuscripts on the Old Testament thus far discovered. Here was a community of people that had been lost to the knowledge of mankind. Who were these people who wrote the scrolls? What did they believe?' Was Christianity practiced, by these people before the time of Christ? What happened to these people? Their story is a fascinating one. Have others buried their records like those at Qumran? Was Christianity practiced by those of ancient America? Will more records "speak from the dust?"
