(Revised and enlarged from Rediscovering the Dead Sea Scrolls: An Assessment of Old and New Approaches and Methods (Maxine L.\u00a0Gorsman, ed.; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2010): 69-88. This version is dated October 1, 2010)<\/address>\n

This article\u00a0is a revised and enlarged version of a study previously published in conventional book form. \u00a0Its aim is to\u00a0see what can be done, using current technologies, to transform a static text into a dynamic, all-electronic, media-rich essay. The transformation was designed not simply to illustrate key points in this study, but to begin to embody a new form of visual analysis that takes full advantage of high resolution photography, special imaging techniques and animation to enhance its narrative.<\/p>\n
