The Dead Sea Scrolls: Questions and Responses for Latter-day Saints

Since their initial discovery in 1947, the ancient scrolls found in caves near the Dead Sea have stirred public curiosity. For Latter-day Saints, whose scriptural tradition speaks of sacred records to come forth in the last days, the Dead Sea Scrolls naturally give rise to questions such as:

• Are there references to Christ or Christianity in the scrolls?
• Do the scrolls contain scripture missing from the Bible?
• Is the plan of salvation attested in the scrolls?
• Do the scrolls refer to Joseph Smith or other latter-day figures?

The Dead Sea Scrolls: Questions and Responses for Latter-day Saints succinctly deals with these and other questions on topics of particular interest to LDS readers.
