This liberal theological approach, however, came to be debunked as merely unsubstantiated speculation by politically motivated liberal scholars with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Among the newly discovered Hebrew Old Testament manuscripts which have been proven by C14 analysis to have been produced between 100 and 200 years prior to the arrival of the Messiah. Since the Old Testament scriptures discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls were only manustripts as opposed to the original scripture, there is no real reason to deny that the original was written centuries earlier as suggested by the traditional view regarding the dating and authorship of this biblical book.
