Dead Sea Scrolls Reverse Interlinear?

Ok, so I want you good people to share your advice here. I ordered the Pre-Pub of the Lexham dead sea scrolls reverse interlinear for $50. Is this a resource I need? I mean how valuable will this really be? Thoughts, comments are encouraged and very much welcomed here...

Thanks.

I plan on getting this, simply because the Dead Sea Scrolls are fascinating to me. However, they may not be of much use for someone with no interest in them.

I will be honest and say I had no interest in DSS until Craig Evan's Mobile Ed courses. I ordered this because now I am interested.

Perhaps it should be noted this is available in the Logos 7 Full Feature Set much discounted as well as Logos Now

I think if you need to pose the question, the answer would likely be no. I saw your personal description, so I'll speak to that ... eg use in a church context.

This prepub is the Old Testament scrolls ... not the sectarian ones. So, effectively you're getting the oldest OT available, in an easy to read format. Logos has another resource similar ... the DSS Bible for $20+ but it's basically english text plus notes. This one is considerably better.

In Bible class, my main interest is apologetics for others ... each of us has a different talent. People see so many false claims during the week. I believe letting people see the evidence themselves is especially valuable ... rather than just saying it's not true. This resource is a handy one for speaking to the text's stability. And it's very visual ... Logos grey'd the missing text, and black'd the scroll text. It's also a fun one for what Jesus would likely have read, though at the time, there were other word variences.

Of course, the other major benefit is 'search' .... BWS's etc when in the OT, since it's been morph'd, lemma'd, etc. The DSS Bible mentioned earlier is just english text. This resource is quite innovative for information display.

Please note: This is traditional interlinear (Hebrew top line), not a reverse interlinear.
