Video 2: Manuscripts in the News

This video presents manuscripts that have made the headlines in recent years, from the tiny tefillin of new Dead Sea Scrolls published in March 2014 to the Gospel of Jesus' Wife (September 2012), the lead Jesus tablets (March 2011), the Gabriel Revelation or Jeselsohn Stone (July 2008), and the Gospel of Judas (May 2006), to name just the most recent. It discusses why manuscripts often make the news, and alerts you to the "scripts" or narratives within which these discoveries are often placed (before they're even found!). It embeds a couple of video clips about manuscript discoveries so that you can see those scripts in action.
