In 1947, Bedouin shepherds found Cave I and retrieved scrolls, including a copy of the Qumran Psalter. It proves Jews created new psalms to complement the Davidic ...

Charlesworth begins from a burgeoning point of scholarly consensus - that more and more scholars are coming to recognize that John's gospel is much more historically complex and valuable than previously thought (even if this is itself complex and contested). Charlesworth outlines the two hi...
