Well, it can't be helped that Golb's theory isn't popular among scholars, and is thus reflected in the exhibits. <BR/><BR/>I mean, are the museums obligated to make sure that Robert Eisenman's view or Barbara Thiering's view get a fair share of time as well? Their books were once upon a time best sellers too. Should they invite Jose O'Callahan to speak about his theory that New Testament manuscripts were found in Cave 7 as well? <BR/><BR/>Besides, in my judgment, the second most plausible theory in addition to the Essene hypothesis is Schiffman's Sadducee hypothesis, not Golb's Jerusalem library hypothesis.Howtindoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977668605828698087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132913551264957814.post-14260343334858226562009-01-31T12:19:00.000-08:002009-01-31T12:19:00.000-08:00Controversy already surrounds this exhibit.
