John the Baptist and his mother, Elisabeth, are radicals. In The Scroll we witness their bold ideas loosening the hard-packed soil of futile traditions. While John challenges the lack of preparation for Messiah, his mother tackles women not being allowed reading the sacred Scrolls. Elisabeth secretly helps those around her use scripture as a soothing balm. Tragedy strikes. How will being widowed rearrange Elisabeth's future? Will she, and the women she's risked teaching, build spiritually renewed relationships? Meanwhile, John's frustrations about ritual washings inspire him to revolutionize baptism. Lives become transformed. Are Temple rituals failing? God's word unveils Messiah who changes everything. Is Jesus's presence enough when our world is unraveling? Yes, eternally fulfilling; God's word unfurled.
