Dr.Carsten Peter Thiede (1952-2004) was a German biblical scholar from the 20th century, best known for his textual criticism of the Dead Sea Scrolls, including the hopeful identification of the 7Q5 parchment as a fragment of the Gospel of Mark. Thiede was an advocate for O’Callaghan’s claims that numerous portions of the Qumran scrolls from Cave 7 are actually Christian New Testament texts from pre AD 70. The adduced texts are very fragmentary and ambiguous, and mainstream scholars have not agreed.
Dr.Thiede's redating of the Magdalen papyrus, which bears a fragment in Greek of the Gospel of Matthew, to the later 1st century on palaeographical grounds provoked much debate! See Eyewitness to Jesus.
