Nate Ramsayer is a biblical scholar and archaeologist who has excavated at seven sites around the world.
Nate has presented papers to the Society of Biblical Literature on the scrolls, helped design interactive stations for the Dead Sea Scrolls: Life in Ancient Times exhibit at the Boston Museum of Science, and, in 2013, received a grant to research at the actual Qumran site on the shores of the Dead Sea. Join Nate as he leads us down the path of discovery into the world of the Qumran community, its history, and what lies inside these treasured fragments of Hebrew scripture.
