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?

Small and squeaky!
Pretty perfect! Great size for small dog and they do squeak. It’s helpful to use both hands when getting the ball to squeak. It’s a bit difficult with just one hand, but that can’t be avoided because the size of the tennis ball is small. We use these inside and outside to exercise our puppy.

Milo approved!!!
Color: Multi-colored, Size: Large - 4 Pack
My dog, Milo, loves these squeeky balls. He is a larger dog but not huge. He's about 60 lbs. They are the perfect fit to his mouth. Soft enough for him to chew on but sturdy enough to hold up.

Squeaky Tennis Balls Are Great Fun!
Color: Multi-colored, Size: Large - 4 Pack
My Doberman loves these! That said, she doe's tear them up over time because once she gets one, she squeak's it continually and chews it. They are tennis ball which are not made to withstand aggressive chewers, but she loves them. They are a great size for her, we play with them every night. She's not a picker and doesn't swallow things so I let her have each one until it's destroyed. Then we get out another one to start the process again. They are a reasonable price for the fun she has.
