Biography<br />
Eugene Ulrich received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and has taught at the University<br />
of Notre Dame since 1973. He is chief editor of the Biblical Dead Sea Scrolls, and was elected<br />
president of the Catholic Biblical <strong>Association</strong> for 2002-03. He serves as a member of the Bible<br />
revision committees for both the New Revised Standard Version and the New American Bible:<br />
Revised Edition, and has recently co-authored The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible.<br />
Lecture<br />
The Impact of the Dead Sea Scrolls on our Bible<br />
The scrolls include approximately 240 Hebrew and Greek biblical manuscripts that are 1,000 years older than previously known<br />
manuscripts. They illuminate a previously undocumented period in the history of the biblical books, showing an organic process<br />
of developmental composition for the biblical books, and raising questions about revelation, inspiration, and the canon. Many of<br />
their superior variant readings have brought improvements (including the recovery of a whole paragraph) to recent translations of<br />
the Bible. This lecture includes a slide show presentation.<br />
