Robert,

I think that your implied question in reply to Hyam is perceptive, that,
"The Pauline saviour/Messiah looks to me like a fulfilment of the type of
prophecy found in 4Q521, which of course mentions the Messiah and seems to
refer to something more than political liberation." There is a good deal of
this sort of thing (Christian instead of Jewish assumptions) in the Qumran
materials that suggests to me a later date than people such as Eisenman
assume, and if we consider a relatively late composition-date, such
interpretive problems in those materials disappear.

Best,
Eric Zuesse
