Hebrew Voices #247 – Dead Sea Scrolls & the War of Light vs. Darkness
In this episode of Hebrew Voices #247 - Dead Sea Scrolls & the War of Light vs. Darkness, Nehemia sits down with Professor Lawrence Schiffman, NYU's leading Dead Sea Scrolls scholar, to explore the sectarian battles that gave rise to these mysterious texts. From the War Scroll's apocalyptic vision to Sadducean and Pharisaic clashes over control of the Temple itself, they uncover what the scrolls reveal about ancient Judaism, drawing surprising parallels to today's Middle East conflicts.
I look forward to reading your comments!

I am skeptical of the Sadducees in Roman times being of the same group, that the Zadokites were, who fled into the desert.
What is the evidence? Just having a name, that alludes to that, and being in competition to the Pharisees, is not sufficient.
Phenomenal study Nehemiah just loved this. Yehovah continue to bless you both.
