Cranky, Bald Donkeys and Textual Criticism, with Andrew Perrin: Jeremiah 14:6
Season 7 Episode 9
Looking at ancient copies (manuscripts) of the Old Testament is necessary if we are to reconstruct the earliest wording of the texts, but the manuscripts can also shed light on the ancient scribes, their work, and perennial challenges of interpretation. For example, 4Q Jeremiah A (dates to around 225-175 B.C.E.), one of the Qumran Scrolls, has some interesting wording at Jer. 14:6. Dr. Andrew B. Perrin is Professor of Humanities at Athabasca University. His publications include
Lost Words and Forgotten Worlds: Rediscovering the Dead Sea Scrolls and Horizons of Ancestral Inheritance: Commentary on the Levi, Qahat, and Amram Qumran Aramaic Traditions.
