From scrolls to codices to the books we know today, the Bible has taken different shapes and has been written with different techniques.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are the oldest biblical texts ever found. The discovery gave us important clues about the everyday lives of the people who recorded these stories more than 2,000 years ago.
