'the reader may learn something from this book'--Sanford Lakoff
"Catholic Biblical Quarterly "
"The author moves carefully through each line of the inscription,
painstakingly interpreting the Hebrew and comparing it with what is
found on other fragments. The charts, tables, graphs, and drawings
are quite detailed, and the bibliography at the end of the book
demonstrates the scholarly nature of the study. This book is meant
for those who know quite a bit about archaeology." - Dianne
