| An Afternoon at the Museum – The Dead Sea Scrolls |
|
Saturday, September 21st, was a beautifully sunny, breezy day. I gathered my equipment and headed off to Westborough, MA. My plan? To see Dr. Eric Meyers lecture on the Dead Sea Scrolls and experience the exhibit at the Museum of Science. The lecture took place at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, and was co-sponsored by Friends of ASOR. Dr. Meyers, who traveled to Boston for this event, is a leading authority on Jewish History, Archaeology and Old Testament Writings. He’s a former president of the American Schools of Oriental Research and current member of the Board of Trustees. He’s helped produce or consulted on several documentaries for the National Geographic, PBS and BBC/Discovery Networks. We were lucky enough to view a portion of his documentary "Enigma of the Dead Sea Scrolls" at the event. Read more... |
