Today, we're down at Biola University for the Grand Opening of the Great Isaiah Scroll Exhibit that will be available for free public viewing here on campus in Calvary Chapel, starting tomorrow and continuing through December 15 (make sure to check the viewing schedule here). This is an exact copy of the 23-foot-long original that was written 2,100 years ago, and discovered in 1947 in a cave near Qumran, amid the other Dead Sea Scrolls. The Great Isaiah Scroll is just one of three complete scrolls among the 900 documents that comprise the DSS.
You may also want to attend four special lectures given by experts on the Dead Sea Scrolls (9/7, 10/12, 11/9, and 12/14) – the first one is tonight at 7pm given by George Giacumakis, director of the Museum of Biblical & Sacred Writings in Irvine (sacredwritings.org), from whom this facsimile of the Great Isaiah Scroll is on loan. If you'd like to come this evening, admission is $15.00, and you'll also be getting both a Great Isaiah Scroll Handbook, and an English translation of the whole Book of Isaiah based on the Great Isaiah Scroll, along with some light refreshments. Would love to see you here!
