In this video I suggest a location of the latrines or toilets of the Dead Sea Scroll community, from the 1st century BCE to the 70 CE Roman destruction of their settlement. It turns out that this matter of how one is to handle the everyday necessity of defecation is a life or death matter. Yes, it has to do with holiness--but more than that--a surprise for all of us when we got back the results of our soil tests for our proposed location. No spoilers...watch the video.

The link for my new course titled "Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls" Course, which was just released, is here:

If you like this kind of in-depth study, using archaeology and textual sources, you will LOVE this new course. We delve "deep," both "in the ground" and in the written texts of the scrolls, and we cover all major topics and controversies related to the scrolls. If you have heard about the scrolls, but never had a way to really study them at an academic level, this course is for you!
