It also produces videos DVD and CDs on archaeology and biblical archaeology. The Biblical Archaeology Society and its leader, Hershel Shanks , have been at the center of several controversies. In 1991, the Biblical Archaeology Society published A Facsimile Edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls , making the Dead Sea scrolls available to scholars around the world. Previously, access to the scrolls was limited to a small team of specialists who had been invited to translate them. At a 2002 press conference co hosted with the Discovery Channel , the Biblical Archaeology Society announced the existence of the James Ossuary . Some critics have alleged that the ossuary, which once may have held the remains of James the Just James , the brother of Jesus , is a forgery. Shanks has remained a staunch defender of the ossuary.
