Ironically, the Reformation resulted largely from Martin Luther calling the
Church *back* to the sacred text (sola scriptura). 

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls was for Christianity more comparable
to this situation for Islam. Whether it will register among Muslims and
become an occasion for decapitations is yet to be seen.

It's been a LOOOONG time since my last church history class....but I thought
the Reformation and resulting schism that gave rise to the Protestant line
of Christianity, was more in response to disputes over the papacy and the
granting of indulgences, among other things.....?

If there was scholarly dispute over the divinity of anything, it was the
pope...i don't recall any similar dispute over sacred text????
