New Post on the Dead Sea Scrolls and Literary Criticism

Ancient Jew Review has published my short discussion on the relevance of the Dead Sea Scrolls to pentateuchal criticism, entitled Reflections on the Textual Development of the Pentateuch in Light of Documented Evidence. There is much more to say about this important topic, and we could (and should) easily get bogged down in details, but this is intended to give a brief summary of what I think the DSS tell us about some important principles of textual development.
