The Bright Side Show

KENNETH L. HANSON is an associate professor in the University of Central Florida Judaic Studies Program. He earned a Ph.D. in Judaic Studies from the University of Texas at Austin, in 1991. He has since published five books, including: Dead Sea Scrolls: The Untold Story; Kabbalah: Three Thousand Years of Mystic Tradition, Words of Light: Spiritual Wisdom from the Dead Sea Scrolls; Secrets from the Lost Bible, and Blood Kin of Jesus. He has also published a number of scholarly articles focusing on the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Judaism of late antiquity. A natural storyteller, Dr. Hanson has, through his books, media appearances, and many articles, made a rich treasure of ancient texts accessible to everyone. Believing that such documents comprise a metaphysical library that we can use to better understand one another, Dr. Hanson carries his ecumenical message beyond the scholarly boundaries in which they were once held captive. Dr. Hanson continues to give public lectures in multiple venues, and appear on radio and television; his research was featured in the 2007 History Channel documentary. www.treasuresintime.org
