@Jim, Zangenberg* is theologian and leader of the "there-is-no-need-for-a-linkage-between-the-site-(Qumran)-and-the-scrolls (DSS)"- faction in Europe, the heir to the throne of Stegemann (who already uses glue not to fall from the pedestal, as it seems**). In fact, the Universities in Germany and in the Netherlands (thus their scholarly potential) have started to turn to Zangenberg one by one...

Bergmeier - that's self-explanatory. _Dierk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dierk van den Berg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 27, 2004 10:21 PM Subject: Re: [Megillot] Qumran history (brief replies To R.
