No Compromise #48: The Mount Ebal Curse Tablet, Part 2: Why does it matter?

On March 24th, 2022, the Associates for Biblical Research announced the discovery of an ancient curse tablet (defixio) on Mount Ebal at the site of ”Joshua’s altar.” This is a potentially WORLD-SHAKING discovery, but the dust has not yet settled, and the academic war is only just beginning. We must clearly understand what is at stake, and think seriously of what our faith depends on. We should also understand the value of such evidence in arguing our case for God, for Christ. I would suggest that my listeners review that episode. I have listed a series of websites below for more information. This VITAL article, ”Addressing Biblical Criticism: A Critique of the Documentary Hypothesis,” provides the Noahic example of Chiastic parallelism we quote in this episode, as well as a cogent critique of JEDP: https://aish.com/addressing-biblical-criticism-a-critique-of-the-documentary-hypothesis/?gclid=CjwKCAjwjYKjBhB5EiwAiFdSfuh_xqQ0nEp5BElX7VEDuMKz4FelUBMMCtgHrd_hFwrEHSMmxdrimBoCgNQQAvD_BwE This essay provides more important information on Chiastic parallelism: https://faithconnector.s3.amazonaws.com/chafer/files/v9n2_2chiasmus.pdf Below find five important websites for further information on this topic: https://biblearchaeology.org/current-events-list/4896-abr-researchers-discover-the-oldest-known-proto-hebrew-inscription-ever-found ABR’s announcement of the discovery with Dr. Scott Stripling  https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/MAGAZINE-how-curse-inscription-from-the-west-bank-ended-up-in-israeli-and-american-hands-1.10718635 An article critical of the procedures with which this discovery came to light http://www.rollstonepigraphy.com/?p=949 Dr. Christopher Rollston offers important critical and methodological cautions on the discovery and its meaning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdE9-55gMzo Dr. Stripling answers questions https://armstronginstitute.org/678-interview-with-dr-stripling-joshua-mt-ebal-and-the-discovery-of-an-ancient-hebrew-amulet This announcement pre-dates the press conference, providing some details missing from that announcement Christian Atheist Book: Through the Looking Glass: The Imploding of an Atheist Professor’s Worldview Page: https://a.co/d/1Sp3rf5 Find our content helpful?
