So, Shakespeare didn’t write Shakespeare’s plays? Shakespeare did? Amazing!

I guess it would make sense, then, that the Essene’s weren’t a Jewish sect founded by dissident priests. Instead they were a Jewish sect founded by dissident priests. Scholarship astounds me!

Scholarship astounds me!

"Publish or perish!"

This maxim does not say what one publishes has to make any sense, be hisorically correct, written well, or be based on sound, logical arguement or research.

Bear in mind that: scholars publish so that other scholars can read, critique, and publish counter publications...all for the betterment of scholarship!!

And the wheels of the bus go round and round.

No no no! They weren't a Jewish sect founded by dissident priests! Newest research indicates they were in fact a dissident sect founded by Jewish priests!
