Uncorrected Proof of the Bible

Not that I've been beating the bushes (burning or otherwise), but I found my
first uncorrected proof of the Bible:

Still looking for the manuscript.

There are some interesting arguments that one of the Dead Sea Scroll is a
VERY early New Testament manuscript, namely 7Q5 = Mark 6:52-53. Unlikely
the original manuscript, but, since the paleography establishes a terminus
post quem non of A.D. 50, it would have to be very close to the original.

I've long been interested in that minority branch of modern Biblical
scholarship that uses modern methods to affirm traditional understandings of
New Testament authorship and dating (as opposed to the majority of modern
scholars who hypothesize quite late dates and indeterminate or "community"
authors for the books of the NT). And to keep it on-topic, for the past
decade I've actually collected a number of the most important works of the
"minority" scholars: from the British monks John Chapman and B.C. Butler
(both converts to the Catholic Church, by the way), to the redatings of
Anglican Bishop J.A.T. Robinson; from the former students of Rudolf Bultmann
like Heinrich Schlier (another Catholic convert) and Eta Linnemann, to the
scholars of the "Paris Hebrew School" (who argue for Hebrew prototypes of,
and thus very early dates for, the Greek Gospels) like Jean Carmignac and
Claude Tresmontant; from J.J. Griesbach, the father of textual criticism, to
his modern heirs like David L. Dungan, T.R.W. Longstaff, Hans-Herbert
Stoldt, Bernard Orchard, Harold Riley, and William R. Farmer. Although far
from an exclusively Catholic movement--the Anglican C.S. Mann, e.g., argued
for Matthean priority in his *Matthew* volume for the multi-volume *Anchor
Bible*--it is interesting to note the number of Catholic scholars in the
movement and the converts it has attracted: most recently, William Farmer,
who joined the Catholic Church a couple of years ago.
