Given that my denomination does not even require an MDIV, even having <i>this much</i> of a discussion of critical issues is going beyond what most ministers get!<br /><br />The Brief Guide series put out by our university press only runs about 70 pages for something like this (e.g., <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1931283354?tag=schenthoug-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=1931283354&adid=0T6V73ED38EAASGWRJXR&" rel="nofollow">my Brief Guide to Biblical Interpretation)</a>, so it is definitely in a nutshell!Ken Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745548537303356655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-16683822509505749082009-07-01T15:09:55.210-04:002009-07-01T15:09:55.210-04:00I really like most of this as a summary.

It's debatable whether or not the writings were fixed at the time of Christ (you don't really deny this, but the opinion seems to be running through the substructure. <br /><br />2. Considering the fact that there is an Isaiah scroll in the Qumran community it seems undeniable that Isaiah did in fact fit on one scroll, as did Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve. It's really for this reason (or one of the contributing reasons) that the Twelve became a cohesive unit.Rob Kashowhttp://kashow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
