November, 2007	Religious Studies Lectures Renowned biblical scholar James Robinson is coming to campus to present a two day seminar on the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Christian Scriptures and the Historical Jesus. Robinson was one of the team of scholars who produced a translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1992. A fellow with the Westar Institute whose Jesus Seminar has worked to uncover the Historical Jesus from the Christian scriptures, his subsequent scholarship focused on the refining of the canonical gospels to reveal the original oral tradition which later became the basis for those gospels, the Sayings Gospel Q. He has most recently been involved in the work to reconstruct and translate the non-canonical gospels of Thomas and Judas discovered at Nag Hamadi, Egypt during the 1940s. It will include a session on the Dead Sea Scrolls Friday evening from 6 – 8:30 p.m. while the Saturday sessions (9 a.m. – 4 p.m.) will focus on the Nag Hamadi Gospels (Thomas) in the morning session and the Historical Jesus and the Sayings Gospel Q project in the afternoon.
