Diese Ausarbeitung geht der Frage nach der Authentizität der Perikope 2 Cor 6:14-7:1 nach. Ist diese Textstelle von Paulus geschrieben oder wurde sie von einer anderen Person oder Gruppe in die Paulinischen Briefe hineingetragen? Die Autorin überprüft dabei die unter Wissenschaftlern häufig vertretene These, dass es sich hier um eine Essenische Interpolation handelt. Damit wird auch exemplarisch dargelegt, wie die Studien der Qumranrollen von Interesse für die Neutestamentliche Wissenschaft sein können und gleichsam inwiefern eine Beziehung zwischen den Schriften aus Qumran und dem Neuen Testament besteht.
