No, but I have read some of her work.
It is interesting to find someone who actually studies the subject. The Dead Sea scrolls, still remain an enigma, but, yes, it is nice to see someone with a scholarly opinion.

As noted Dead Sea Scrolls scholar Geza Vermes put it:
"Professor Barbara Thiering's reinterpretation of the New Testament, in which the married, divorced, and remarried Jesus, father of four, becomes the "Wicked Priest" of the Dead Sea Scrolls, has made no impact on learned opinion. Scroll scholars and New Testament experts alike have found the basis of the new theory, Thiering's use of the so-called "pesher technique," without substance." ('New York Review of Books', Dec 1, 1994)

Sounds interesting. I've always suspected that even the Bible authors realized much of the stuff was made up.
