New Dead Sea Scrolls Controversy
Rages Over St. Mark Interpretation
A new controversy has arisen
over the authenticity of ancient
scrolls for which claims of an-
tiquity have been made by most
scholars.
Prof. Solomon Zeitlin contends
that the Dead Sea .Scrolls do not
belong to antiquity, that they are
the products of illiterates who
were not proficient in Hebrew and
who may have written them in the
6th or 7th centuries.
Now there is a new controversy
over claims that a St. Mark scroll
has been discovered among the
miscellaneous fragments of the
Dead Sea Scrolls.
Last March, the Rev. Jose
O'Callaghan made the claim in a
Rome publication. It seemed to
advance the Presumed date of
St., Mark's Gospel by two
decades, from 70 A.C.E. to 50
A.C.E. and would have forced a
drastic revision of the history of
the early Christian Church. It
also would have been the first
clearly established link between
the early Christian and the ob-
scure Jewish Essene sect at
Qumran that flourished at the
time of Jesus and held to many
theological concepts similar to
those of early Christians.
However, the Rev. Pierre Benoit.
a leading biblical scholar and di-
rector cf the Ecole Biblique et
Archeologique Francaise in Jeru-
salem has disputed Rev. O'Cal-
laghan's claim. Rev. Benoit offers
no alternate hypothesis about what
the fragments in question might
be—but he sees no way in which
they can be read as St. Mark.
Father O'Callaghan has studied
ohly a photocopy of the three un-
identified fragments. with just a
few barely discernible words on
each, before he published his
paper.
Father Benoit went to the Rocke-
feller Museum in Jerusalem where
the original scroll fragments are
held, after he read Father O'Cal-
laghan's thesis. He was unable,
upon studying and examining the
fragments, to make the marks that
do show up and coincide with the
Greek letters necessary to prove
Father O'Callaghan's suggestion.
One spot that did show up proved
to be a hole in the papyrus.
Father Benoit cautioned that
even if the rendering could be
established, there was no precise
way to date the fragment.
