Writing in the time of Moses lecture by Dr. Alan Milliard

We were very blessed to be able to attend a lecture seminar that included Dr. Alan Milliard last weekend. The following is a lecture done by him at Lanier Theological Library in Houston, Texas.
The subject is Moses and writing in his time supported by Bible and archeology.

Writing and Reading in the time of Jesus

Here is a link to a very good article written by Alan Millard, Rankin Professor of Hebrew & Ancient Semitic Languages, The University of Liverpool. It gives support to historic documented literacy of the common people during this time period. He does have a lecture book available which is paper back and I am sure is worth the price, but as for myself I cannot see paying this amount for a paperback book unless it would be a text book.We already have a home library of about 4000 titles which is notably down from the 9000 previously owned by Dr. Klein:) For those of you who are interested though it is available on Amazon.

Great article on" Who Really Invented the Alphabet" Worth your time reading!

Not only is the following article good but the rebuttal is good as well. This is worth reading.

The Aleppo Codex

While researching this evening I decided to look for some online resources. I found an awesome online site for the Aleppo Codex that I would like to share that may be of interest to new Hebrew Scholars.
