http://packrat.aml.arizona.edu/deadsea.html Eisenman has backed the idea that some of the scrolls may have been the work of early Christians. He could not be reached for comment yesterday. http://www.mostmerciful.com/scrolls.htm With this scenario in mind, Eisenman turned to the Dead Sea Scrolls, and particularly the Habakkuk Commentary. When the fragmentary details of the Qumran texts had been assembled into a coherent sequence, what emerged was something extraordinarily similar to the chronicle of Acts, Josephus and early Christian historians. The scrolls told their own story, at the centre of which was a single protagonist, the Teacher of Righteousness- an exemplar of the same virtues associated with James.
http://www.calstate.edu/newsline/Archive/01-02/010829-LB.shtml Dubay and Walker were part of a team of five members selected and put together by Robert Eisenman, the head of the Institute for Judeo-Christian Origins at CSULB and a professor of Middle East religions and archaeology in the CSULB Religious Studies Department.
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/04/0418_030418_bibleartifact.html One of the most significant and well-documented finds in situ were the ancient scrolls discovered in caves along the Dead Sea. Written on fragments of animal skins and papyrus, the Dead Sea Scrolls were unearthed from 1947 to 1956 and remain the oldest known versions of biblical and non-biblical texts describing life in the Holy Land during the time of Jesus. In August 2001, a team of researchers directed by Robert Eisenman of California State University, Long Beach, uncovered human remains at Qumran, the Dead Sea Scrolls area. More bones were found the following year in the same spot. The bone fragments may date back 2,000 years. (Israeli archaeologists involved in the dig quickly conveyed the bones to religious caretakers.) |
