Thank you for your insightful piece, Prof. Adler. It follows on from your excellent book.
One small comment - Prof. Dr. Reinhard Kratz comment about the pre-Hasmonean period also seems like conjecture.
And on a personal note - I was particularly taken by the fact that you "find it incredibly inspiring to consider that our Biblical writers may very well have been regarded as marginal in their own day and age, only to eventually win the day" - where you trying to provide hope for all who are regarded as marginal today?
