John C. Trever
Christian Century, May 30, 2006
* John C. Trever, 90, among the first Americans to examine the first of the Dead Sea Scrolls to surface in 1948, died April 29 in Lake Forest, California. Trever took photographs of some scrolls containing the book of Isaiah, which were shown to him in Jerusalem by Syrian monks and were said to have been found by a Bedouin shepherd in a cave the year before.
His photos of three manuscripts are now housed at the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center at the Claremont School of Theology. The photos aided scholars because those scrolls later deteriorated. Trever worked for the National Council of Churches in the late 1940s and early 1950s, promoting the then-controversial Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
