MMT & TR
Russell:
>I agree with your assessment. I'd rate the ground somewhere between mud &
quicksand.... If MMT reflects a difference of opinion between Sadducee
halakhah and Pharisee, as Qimron et al have shown, I don't see how such a
dispute could be projected back to the time of Jason or Menelaus.<
Well this puts me in hip boots looking for a branch to grab regarding
holding out a possibility that Khonyo III was the 1st TR. Yet, I guess I'm
still not convinced that such a dispute couldn't have dated back to the
earlier time. Why not? While the P'rushim split off as a distinct group
only c. 165 - 160 BCE, as a reconizable faction they trace back before two
centuries after the Babylonian Exile. How can we know when the schism
began
developing before the actual split?
