Wow! I remember when you first started the project. How long has it been? Great work as usual Peter.

The site is nothing short of excellent, and I've little doubt it will quickly join ECW as my most oft-referenced websites.

I must wonder, as I suggested previously, however, if it wouldn't be prudent to add a section on the Documentary Hypothesis? And perhaps, while the Open Scrolls Project is in progress, links to the available (though illegal) mansucripts carried on www.gnosis.org regarding the Dead Sea Scrolls. Perhaps links to available resources on them as well--there's entirely too much Barbara Thiering, and not nearly enough Marty Abegg, reflected online. A collection of links to the latter standard would be a valuable resource.

Just suggestions, and certainly not intended to overshadow what is another excellent resource by Peter Kirby.

Awesome!

Ignore what Professor Montgomery said about Peter's websites.

They are great contributions.
