The Rhetoric of Extremism The Ethnic Turkish Minority in Western Thrace Greece
Öz
A renevved interest in the Dead Sea Scrolls drew me back to Edmund
Wilson's pioneering study vvhich is stili so often referred to in continuing
discussions of the subject.1
An admirer of Axel's Castle and avvare of the
political correctness of the author's Apology to the Iraquoıs, I was not
prepared to find a crippling bias in this book. The surprise is increased by the
author's disarming truthfulness about his linguistic limitations and his candor
about his non-partisan stance. Since he professes himself neither Jew nor
Christian, one is prepared to find him free of the biases vvhich have delayed
the translation and given rise to opposing theories of dating of the scrolls.
Indeed, on the surface, a ration and objective spirit seems to pervade Wilson's
discussion of the scrolls themselves. Wilson really does not çare that
"ignorant" Catholics might find their traditional faith disturbed by nevv
information about the historical Jesus, for example
