Since their discovery in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls have become an icon in popular culture that transcends their status as ancient Jewish manuscripts. Everyone has heard of the Scrolls, but amidst the conspiracies, the politics, and the sensational claims, it can be difficult to separate the myths from the reality.

In this Very Short introduction, Timothy Lim discusses the cultural significance of the finds, and the religious, political and legal controversies during the seventy years of study since the discovery. He also looks at the contribution the Scrolls have made to our understanding of the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible, and the origins of early Christianity. Exploring the most recent scholarly discussions on the archaeology of Khirbet Qumran, and the study of the biblical texts, the canon, and the history of the Second Temple Period, he considers what the scrolls reveal about sectarianism in early Judaism. Was the archaeological site of Qumran a centre of monastic life, a fortress, a villa, or a pottery factory? Why were some of their biblical texts so different from the ones that we read today? Did they have 'a Bible'? Who were the Essenes and why did they think that humanity is to be divided between 'the sons of light' and those in darkness? And, finally, do the Scrolls reflect the teachings of the earliest followers of Jesus?

So lightweight. Perfect for extra thick hair.
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
Its almost mousse like in how light weight it is and smells fantastic. I wanted something just above light weight hold and not weigh my thick hair down and this does a great job. A little pricey but SO much better than the usual store brands out there. And my wife is totally in love with how great it smells when I put it on, so bonus!

Faithful to the soap's original scent
Scent: Original Citrus + Eucalyptus
I love the Huron Original Citrus + Eucalyptus bar soap so much, I started looking at the cologne from the same company. I collect (too many) fragrances, and love having different scents to choose from depending on the day and occasion. I have plenty of warmer scents, but not enough freshies that I really like. After reading other reviews here on Amazon, I figured this was a safe bet. And I was right! Performance is great. I use it on my skin only (because I only really want my wife and I smelling me...not everyone else who I walk by). It lasts me 8+ hours easily. And the fragrance is true to the original scent I know from Huron's soap. Exactly what I wanted. It's a very fair price for a cologne that performs this well, and I can wear it anywhere for any purpose, very versatile. The bottle is nice and the atomizer is strong and even.

Breathe in my essence and remember me!
Scent: Original Citrus + Eucalyptus
Alright, listen up, because I’m about to let you in on the best-kept secret in men’s fragrance. This right here—Huron Eau de Parfum—is not just a cologne. Oh no, this is a power move in a bottle. You spritz this on, and it’s like stepping into a world where you’ve just conquered a mountain, tamed a wild stallion, and shaken hands with destiny. Crisp citrus, fresh eucalyptus, a hint of mint, and aromatic greens—it’s like Mother Nature whipped up a scent just for men who are ready to take on the world. We’re talking about a cologne that’s refreshing enough to wake you up better than a cold shower and bold enough to say, “Yeah, I’m here. And I smell damn fantastic.” And here’s the kicker: this stuff is long-lasting. None of that “spray it in the morning, gone by lunchtime” nonsense. No, this baby’s got stamina—just like any real champion should. You’ll still be smelling like a million bucks well after the day is done. And let’s not forget the ingredients: safe, clean, the kind of stuff that says, “I care about what I’m putting on my skin because I’m a class act.” So if you’re looking for a fragrance that says champion, look no further. Huron Eau de Parfum is that fresh, invigorating smell of victory bottled up just for you. Five stars. Because this is for men who don’t just live life—they dominate it.
