In addition to being the oldest surviving copies of such documents, the mixture of languages and different kinds of papers helped shed light on the people in the region at the time, making the Dead Sea Scrolls vitally important to the world's major religions.

What would it mean for your life if Jesus really did rise from the dead? There are some things which, if they are true, change everything.
