Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

This is so inaccurate.
I corresponded with the late Jean Carmignac, and he published two of my articles.
Further evidence that this AI is not reliable.

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

In a letter dated 14 January 1953 J.T. Milik (though he may have later changed his mind) in French congratulated W. H. Brownlee for his identification of Judah the Essene as the Teacher of Righteousness.

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

William H. Brownlee did not write that the Teacher of Righteousness was Judas Maccabeus.
William H. Brownlee did write that the Teacher of Righteousness was, or might have been, Judah the Essene.
I could provide bibliography, but perhaps you don't care to read such?

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

This AI is not "someone else." It lacks discrimination based on real research, as already proved, for example, by its egregious misrepresentation of the published views of the late scholar William H. Brownlee.

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

I quoted a reference to Damascus Document ms 4Q266, not to any putative later additions. What a mechanical regurgitator presents as what someone wrote was "believed" is not real scholarship, imo. "Referring" to William Brownlee as if he agreed with a Christian dating is absurd--B...

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

According to Michael A. Knibb, in Encyclopedia of the Dead Sea Scrolls (Oxford U P, 2000) 921: "The Christian identifications [of the Teacher of Righteousness] are ruled out by the fact, among others, that the oldest manuscript of the Damascus Document (4Q266) and the manuscript of Pesher Habak...

Re: Shakespeare wasn’t Shakespeare

I certainly do not object to Simon & Schuster for publishing the book.
It has been years since I looked into the Shakespeare authorship question and concluded that Shakespeare was Shakespeare.
Who, Irish1975, do you think wrote Shakespeare?

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

I can't speak to all of what Kipp Davis may think about the Qumran "Teacher of Righteousness." But I can comment on this sentence, from above: ".... Everything written has posited that this was a real person about whom we know nothing beyond what appears in the Scrolls.” That is false...

Re: Shakespeare wasn’t Shakespeare

Unless I am mistaken, Ben Jonson (1572-1637), a poet and playwright, knew Shakespeare and wrote about him.
