[edit] Rewrite

Rewrote article as follows:

  • For Funhistory: the history of the debate over the dating has been put in a narrative format, so that the reader can better understand the current scholarly consensus (which means I agree with a point you made in an earlier edit).
  • New Interpretation section created: I'm rather a minimalist when it comes to interpretation, very careful not to go beyond what can safely be said; probably you guys will disagree with me on this one, but always open to suggestions.
  • Text: It contains some interpretation, not from me. I'm not happy with it but don;'t want to change anything that's well sourced - but this isn't sourced. Can you tell us where it comes from?

Bravo! I don't mind allowing Minimalists the last word as long as it's just a desperate speculation (i.e., that these scrolls could have existed prior to the establishment of a religious culture based on either a strong/reliable oral tradition, or far more ancient texts)--Funhistory (talk) 16:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
