Biblical Scholarship of the Dead Sea Scrolls, According to Wes Huff on the Joe Rogan Experience
In January 2025, biblical scholar Wesley Huff appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience to discuss the profound significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) for biblical scholarship. During this wide-ranging conversation, Huff highlighted several key aspects of these ancient texts, including their role in validating biblical manuscript transmission, their diverse material composition, and the ongoing challenges scholars face in studying them. His insights were heard by millions of people–Christians and non-Christians alike. Wes outlined a framework for understanding how the DSS discoveries continue to shape our knowledge of ancient Judaism and early Christianity and support the authority of the Scriptures.
My Modern Insights of the Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls at the Reagan Library Museum
I was so excited to hear that the Dead Sea Scrolls were coming to the Reagan Library and could not wait to visit. I want to share some insights in this video. The exhibit is at the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Running through September 2025, this exhibit showcases eight authentic scrolls alongside over 200 ancient artifacts, offering a rare glimpse into Second Temple Judaism and the preservation of biblical texts. Unfortunately time didn’t allow me to overview the artifacts, but you should go see those for yourself. In this video I overview the Beatitudes Scroll, the Damascus Document, the Psalms Scroll, and more, unraveling their significance for biblical theology, messianic expectations, and early Christian thought. If you're passionate about the Bible, archeology, and ancient history, you will not be disappointed.
