And next time, pick a better restaurant.<BR/><BR/>Pants: True that. Hence the success of this blog.<BR/><BR/>View from Here: It takes a special kind of conspiracy theorist to conclude that evangelicals are suppressing alternative interpretations of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

When manuscripts are hoarded by a few, it results in <B>errors and monopoly interpretations that are very hard to overturn even after they are proved wrong</B>."<BR/><BR/>From what I understand, the consequences of the Scrolls monopoly are indeed still continuing today, in a misleading exhibit taking place in a "natural history" museum in San Diego. See this article for details:<BR/><BR/>http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/did-christian-agenda-lead-biased-dead-sea-scrolls-exhibit-san-diego<BR/><BR/>So I would suggest that an important question is whether so-called liberal Christian scholars -- by which I mean scholars of Christian faith who, like April DeConick, seek to do their research in accordance with fundamental scientific principles rather than any religious agenda -- will part company with their Evangelical-minded colleagues and frankly condemn what is going on with the Dead Sea Scrolls in one museum exhibit after another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15405788.post-19785357140240321172007-12-02T11:12:00.000-05:002007-12-02T11:12:00.000-05:00SWNID said: And let's hope that the public decides...SWNID said: <I>And let's hope that the public decides it won't be fooled again.</I><BR/><BR/>Scott says: we live to be fooled. we love to be fooled. apparently we think life isn't interesting enough as it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15405788.post-41768984737116936632007-12-02T10:51:00.000-05:002007-12-02T10:51:00.000-05:00I wasn't sure as I read this yesterday morning at ...I wasn't sure as I read this yesterday morning at my local IHOP if I should be hissing or smiling.<BR/><BR/>Advice?farrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00242628635425873966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15405788.post-87144563347100356222007-12-02T09:42:00.000-05:002007-12-02T09:42:00.000-05:00Interesting - thanks for drawing attention to that...Interesting - thanks for drawing attention to that story.
