Did you like Qumran, the Dead Sea Scrolls Revealed? So did the Lions Club Montigny les 3 Villages: I have been invited to come and give a conference on the same theme.

Who lived in Qumran? Who wrote these manuscripts? In what way did they revolutionize the study of the Bible? Were Jesus and his disciples at Qumran?… There are some of the questions that will be answered.

The conference will take place on Thursday, March 17 at 8:30 PM at the Ferme du Manet, 61 avenue du Manet, 78180 Montigny. For more information (entrance fee, booking…) please click on the attached poster. See you there!

This filmed interview is an integral part of the exhibition, so as to be viewed by all visitors, but you can watch it here in its entirety:
