Potsherds, Computers, and the Composition of the Bible

This week, the National Academy of Sciences published a new type of study on some of the Arad Ostraca. The shock headlines have read something like, "New Evidence of when the Old Testament was Written!" Or, "Bible Written Earlier Than Thought!" It really appears to be an interesting article, and in light of a late night text message from my older brother, I felt compelled to register some of my knee-jerk reactions.

I posted them on a blog site for Wesley Biblical Seminary, which is a school with which I do some teaching. You can access it here.
