Hello and Welcome to the Dead Sea Scrolls Wiki!

This site is still very much under construction, your patience is appreciated. The purpose of this site will be to provide a searchable wiki about the Dead Sea Scrolls to encourage understanding and scholarship.

This is a freely available site made as a labor of love, I ask that you kindly do not deface it or use it as a basis for online hate. If it becomes a frequent target, I will have to take it down or make it private. Thank you!
