These ancient documents confirm the accuracy of modern Bible translations, but what were they doing hidden in caves in Qumran? Who were the people who hid them there?

Some people make the mistake of believing that the Dead Sea Scroll are the originals of the Bible. The Dead Sea Scrolls gives a more accurate picture of this important archaeological find and delves into the people who possessed the scrolls, which were known as the "Dead Sea Sect." In addition to leaving the scrolls with biblical passages in clay pots under floors and in caves, the sect also left a variety of other writings including their religious rituals, marriage contracts, and predictions of future events, among other documents.
