Sounds like they are inundated with a whole lot of fragments and perhaps they are trying to choose scholars with like-minded theological views, which could be limiting their progress. I don't know that but it is a potential concern.

Archeology 201 Guidelines
If Indiana Jones happened to be a member of Tweb, this is where he'd hang out.
Welcome to the Archeology forum. Were you out doing some gardening and dug up a relic from the distant past? would you like to know more about Ancient Egypt? Did you think Memphis was actually a city in Tennessee?
Well, for the answers to those and other burning questions you've found the right digs.
Our forum rules apply here too, if you haven't read them now is the time.

Dan Wallace has commented on the Josh McDowell stuff.....basically to say that:
yes he did speak at the conference because he was asked to.
No-one handled papyri at his display table, he can't comment about other presentations as he never saw them
He can't comment at all on the 1st Century Gospel of Mark fragment, to either confirm or deny the rumours floating around because of the NDA.

The latest news is from Craig Evans, who has some knowledge of this find and is advising the Green project. He has been told that the text fragment will not be published for another couple of years.אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

Just speculation. They may be trying to publish several fragments in one volume. Multiple scholars writing separate chapters on each text. Some are always chronically late in finishing their chapters. Legal issues pertaining to the copyright and ownership of the original masks. None of these reasons discussed are sufficient to explain another two years of delay.אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

Here's a video where he makes some of these claims:

Another interpretation: 7Q5EN2.jpg. . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV
. . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . -- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . . -- 1 John 5:1 KJV

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist
