DCHindley wrote:The term "paradigm shift" seems to refer to a shift from thinking of it as a Christian composition to thinking of it as a Jewish one authored in circles that did not include any sects that stored mss in the caves of Qumran. However, the editors seem a bit too gleeful about this, making me suspect there is a slight apologetic interest in the book.
A real question here... what sort of "apologetic interest" might lie behind such a "shift"?

I'll take you up on that offer, actually, if it's still available.
