It might make things interesting if they get scholarly consensus on who the “Teacher of Righteousness” is in the Habakkuk scroll.

(Andrew):  Scholarly consensus leans toward Henny Youngman.

Robert Eisenman seems to think it was a 150 year old guy named James the Just.  But then, they lived longer in biblical times.

(Andrew):  Robert Eisenman is one of those credentialed, peer-reviewed scholars that you’re always going on about.

It’s that darn scientific dating of the scrolls.

(Andrew):  Carbon dating is over-rated.  Especially when it seems to show that someone lived 150 years.  Of course if your peer-reviewed, credentialed bible school scholar believes it, it must be so.

Robert M. Price believes him, but Eisenman’s view is considered radical.
