A new set of Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient fragments of biblical texts dating back almost 2,000 years and thought to have been hidden during a Jewish revolt against Rome, have been found in the West Bank.

The Israel Antiquities Authority announced Tuesday that a four-year archaeological project uncovered portions of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets, including the books of Zechariah and Nahum. It was the first such discovery in 60 years.

Fantastic!!! This is exciting news!!! I suspect that there are more and maybe even older texts waiting to be found, but the Holy Spirit needs to keep them hidden because the view of Fundamentalism would rather give up the Bible then to allow a Bible that does not fit their presuppositions.
