EarthDiverse: Historical course on the Dead Sea Scrolls

todd from EarthDiverse

Interested in Biblical History? Learn about the DEAD SEA SCROLLS with EarthDiverse!

Ever since their discovery in the 1940s the Dead Sea Scrolls have generated massive amounts of scholarly controversy. Even those outside the field of Biblical Studies tend to be vaguely aware of academic scandals, religiously motivated cover-ups and conspiracy theories. So what is it about the “most significant archaeological discovery of the 20th century” that has created so much controversy?

Join us for a 6-week seminar with Archeological Scholar and Historian Dennis Green, PhD, on the history and intrigue of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Meets Wednesday nights beginning 22 March 2023, 7:00-8:30pm. Both in-person and via Zoom from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

Poll: Do you think Waikato needs an agency to grow its economy?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato may be getting a new ‘go-to’ body for building the region’s economy.

The previous economic development agency, Te Waka, shut down earlier this year, saying the “passionate advocates” no longer had the resources to do what they’d planned.

Do you think Waikato needs an agency? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
