>The Baptist Press is reporting that fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls have been acquired by Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. According to the press release, the fragments owned by the seminary include portions of Exodus 23, Leviticus 18 and Daniel 6.

Southwestern Seminary also acquired a pen made from a Palm tree, which was found with the Dead Sea Scrolls and presumably used by the scribes who wrote them. It is only one of three pens known to exist from the Dead Sea Scroll discoveries.
