Primary Source opportunities on CP

Oldnewbie · September 2016

I would like to promote 2 resources currently on CP that are amazing deals:

1. https://www.logos.com/product/34087/the-old-and-new-testament-manuscripts-in-the-freer-collection

2. https://www.logos.com/product/41570/the-cuneiform-inscriptions-and-the-old-testament

The Freer Collection is only $8 and the cuneiform inscriptions is only $6! That's pretty incredible, don't you think? Let's push them over the top so we can add these great resources to our libraries!

I agree! I've had my bid in on both these excellent resources for some time. If a retired English teacher like me can have an interest in such things, surely many more that come to this forum should have an interest too.

Thanks for pointing these out. Interestingly, I had a bid on only one of them.

I hope they're gonne be useful for non Hebrew/Greek folks like me...

Jan, Bruce, EastTN and Joseph,

Thank you. I'm bumping this again so more people will get the chance to look at them. Here's hoping more people will join in!

I don't know all the ins and outs of the question and I don't have the time to research it now, but the introduction to ANET discusses the place of Shrader's work in relation to subsequent works that have been published since. I believe ANET itself may overlap with some of and perhaps eclipse Shrader's. But I am totally sure about this as I said.

However, always bear in mind that when a resource is from the 19th century, either it is a work that has not been improved on since (it happens) or else there are more current works based on advances in scholarship since then. It is always worthwhile to investigate further before jumping on the gun. Unless you're a collector of course...
