Reply to comment by StrategicBean in Deciphering ancient texts with modern tools, Michael Langlois challenges what we know about the Dead Sea Scrolls and biblical archaeology by MeatballDom

Despite being Christian, I'm always a bit skeptical of any biblical scholar but this man reads like a genuine, curious nerd with education and patience to back it and turn it into something more. I like it. More people like this, please. I don't have the patience or intelligence to do it myself.

I'm not saying it's a purely Christian field of study. I simply mean that a lot of biblical studies I see have an agenda and are out to prove something specific, not to just validate data with an open mind like this.
