Dr. Kraft, have you read Robert Eisenman's THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS AND
THE FIRST CHRISTIANS ? This book seems to be PACKED FULL of New
Testament analysis. But perhaps I am not completely familiar with what
you mean with TEXTUAL WORK or ANALYSIS. I'd be interested in your
views on this particular book. As I've said before, I do not not concur
with Eisenman's views on the TIMING of the WICKED PRIEST, but it
is absolutely fascinating how much Eisenman can "pick out" of
New Testament text that I believe IS related the the Dead Sea
Scroll texts that the casual reader wouldn't notice.
