Expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls Dr. Lawrence Schiffman of NYU is on his way to Israel and speaks with Eve Harow on his field of expertise.

Still being studied and analyzed, the DSS remain the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century and a challenge of faith for some scholars.
He’s not one of them.
