For those who could not attend, Prof. Garfinkel graciously posted his PowerPoint in PDF format on their website: http://qeiyafa.huji.ac.il/qdb/ASOR_2parts.pdf ...

Everyone is familiar with the Ichthus symbol used by ancient (and modern) Christians. However, in Ephesus (and perhaps elsewhere, I am not sure), there is...
The wagon wheel with É×ÈÕC written next to it works properly (I hope this comes through properly since I used the capital Greek letters for everything...
Perhaps I've missed the point, but I don't believe there is any theological significance to the "wagon wheel" design on the bread from Pompeii. It's simply...
Sorry for the confusion. My point is not that the bread from pompeii has any Christian significance. What I am curious about is whether the "wagon wheel"...
Very early symbols for the "Jesus movement" were the grapevine with a cluster of grapes, the fish and the loaf of bread. All of these represented an imagery...

I was wondering where I could get a spelling check and meaning of these Hebrew words. Naphash, caiyah, nephesh, and also if we have to pay tithe according to...
I'm not sure what "naphash" and "caiyah" are supposed to represent. Perhaps you could give a passage where these are found so that they can be recognized. ...

I still think that IN THE CHURCH the tithe was replaced by the free-will offering. While it is to be encouraged that people give generously, it is not a law...
