This exhibit will highlight cuneiform tablets on loan from Claudia Woodard and the Horn Museum located on the campus of Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan. They were found in Ur, Abraham’s hometown, which was a metropolis of Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). These clay tablets date to the early second millennium BC, an era known as Ur III or the Third Dynasty which dates from ca. 2070–1969 BC. The tablets are written in the Akkadian language in a cuneiform script. Cuneiform was a common means of record keeping and diplomatic correspondence in Mesopotamia and the southern Levant for much of the Bronze Age. <<< Read the full story at The Katy News <a href="https://thekatynews.com/2025/02/05/the-world-of-abraham-exhibit/">site</a> and Katy Times <a href="http://katytimes.com/stories/bible-seminarys-joshua-judges-and-jesus-museum-debuts-new-world-of-abraham-exhibit,100444">site</a> >>> Thu, 06 Feb 2025 11:22:52 +0000 Professor's Book Named Finalist in Book Awards http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/66901 The book Why We Pray: Understanding Prayer in the Context of Cosmic Conflict, written by John Peckham, associate editor at the Adventist Review and research professor of theology and Christian philosophy at Andrews University, was recently recognized as one of the top works in academic theology in the 2024 Christianity Today Book Awards.
