Archaeology Spotlight

The Great Isaiah Scroll

Discover ancient evidence that brings Scripture to life.

In 1947, a shepherd exploring the caves of Qumran found clay jars holding ancient scrolls. Among them was a complete copy of Isaiah, roughly a thousand years older than any Hebrew copy known before. Its words about the coming Messiah were already old when Jesus read from Isaiah in the synagogue at Nazareth.

That you would love Jesus and His Word more.

Every page is made to help you understand what you have just read, see how each passage fits into God's unfolding plan of redemption, and discover how all of Scripture points to Jesus Christ.

More than knowledge, we pray you come to know what you believe and why you believe it, and that you close each issue loving the Author more than when you began.
