Cheers! 213.39.210.112 ( talk) 22:01, 12 January 2010 (UTC) Reply Update: Talk of Ipuwer/Exodus parallel is now only 1/3 of the content and can hardly be construed as giving undue weight to a positive match.

My point was actually that the religious organisations were likely to prefer the interpretation that confirms the historicity of their belief. dab ( ᛏ) 13:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC) Reply Why is the Catholic Church non-fringe and a respectable Jewish author yes-fringe? I'm not sure why you are attacking my comment I placed it in "quotation marks" because others have labeled this interpretation in that way, not because I was suggesting that the views were fringe. I am a bit tired of the assumption that it is "no surprise" people are crackpots as soon as they follow the Christian religion. Mainstream Christians would not give a damn about whether this papyrus documents Exodus. These seem to be American born agains or Bibilcal literalists. I don't think the Catholic Church has a position on the papyrus. Anyone an idea? JFW | 18:09, 8 November 2005 (UTC) Reply these "religious organizations" are themselves "fringe". As I said above, we need an authoratitive review from a credentialed Egyptologist to be represented. I have also provided some links supporting my assertion that religious organisations seem to prefer this "fringe" interpretation (no surprise). I have replaced it with "some", which indicates clearly that these are in the minority. I think this should be made clear in the article.- Rob117 21:30, 3 October 2005 (UTC) Reply I think "fringe historians" is a POV term. This Egyptology site refers to the Exodus association as that of "fringe historians." The identification with the Exodus is not generally accepted by scholars.
