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.
