I’ve never met you, but I’m gonna read your mind. Not literally, of course. I’m going to make an educated guess about why you want to write a book. If I’m correct in my guess—it means this is the perfect book for you. If I’m wrong in my guess—then I’ve just saved you a lot of time. You can skip this book; it’s not right for you. Here’s my guess. See if it resonates: You had a problem. It was probably a difcult problem for you. You sufered for a long time because of it. WHY WRITE A BOOK?!·!9 This problem might have even defned you as a person—at least for a while. You spent time, energy, and efort on it, and maybe even dedicated your career to solving it. Finally, after a lot of struggle and work, you solved your problem. You found a solution, and you made your life better. But you didn’t just fnd the solution to this problem. You mastered it. You’re good at implementing this solution. Yes, there are times you doubt yourself—as we all do— but part of you is even a little proud of yourself and what you’ve accomplished. You know some things (at least in your feld). Although you’ve never written a book before, you keep coming back to the idea of writing one, for two main reasons: 1. You want to share your hard-earned knowledge to help people solve the same problem you used to have. You want to give this wisdom back to others so it can impact them. Basically, you want to help people through your book. 2. You want some recognition for what you did. I am not implying that recognition is bad—quite the opposite. It is natural and right to want your peers and family and friends to know the real you and see what you’ve done. And you also hope this recognition will actually help 10 · THE SCRIBE METHOD you in some way as well, probably in your career (and maybe even in your personal life too). I’d bet you’ve been thinking about writing a book for some time. You’ve probably had people saying, “You should write a book!” long before now. But you didn’t acknowledge it, because the next step—writ- ing the book—was too scary. After all, you don’t know where to start, or how to structure your book, or if your book idea is good enough, or if you have enough to say, or if anyone will care once you write it. And then there’s the worst fear of all, the one you don’t want to talk about but always lingers: What if you write a bad book? You might have even started writing the book at some point, but you stopped. You probably had some good momentum at frst and found it really rewarding to get your ideas out of your head. You thought about how people would receive the book, maybe pictured the eventual praise in your future. But you hit an obstacle, and it stalled you. It brought up all your self-doubt and anxiety, and without a plan to get past that obstacle (or obstacles), you lost your momentum, and then you stopped. WHY WRITE A BOOK? · 11 It’s probably frustrating that you aren’t writing your book. You see other people—some of whom don’t even know as much as you about your subject—who did write their books, who have credibility and authority in their feld, who are getting increased visibility, and who have more clients and more opportunities, all from their book. Most of all, you see the impact their books have on people. You know you could have that same impact—if you could just get your book done. Your book might not save the world, but it could change some people’s lives for the better…if only you could get it to them. Does this sound familiar? Does it describe you? If so, then this is the perfect book for you. It was written specifcally for people just like you, as you embark on your journey to writing and publishing your own book. If you follow the steps, it will get you there. If I haven’t just described you, then like I said, this book probably isn’t right for you, and you can put it down and move on to another book that is better suited for you. (If this story has nothing to do with you, yet you’ve already paid for 12 · THE SCRIBE METHOD it, then email me directly and I will give you your money back: [email protected]. I’m totally serious). WHAT THIS BOOK WILL TEACH YOU In this book, I will teach you everything you need to know to make sure you write a great book—one that impacts read- ers lives and cements your legacy. Here’s just a sample of how-to topics you’ll fnd in these pages: • Pick the perfect book topic—one that both displays your knowledge and helps readers improve their lives (chapter 2.4) • Make sure there will be an audience waiting to buy your book before you write it (chapter 2.3) • Write a book to build your brand (chapter 2.2) • Ensure your book gets you an ROI (chapter 2.2) • Set yourself up for success before you even start writing your book (chapter 1.1) • Figure out how much of your story should be in your book (chapter 2.1) • Structure your book exactly so you get it correct—and so it’s easy for you to write (chapter 3.1) • Create the motivation and inspiration, on command, to sit down and write every day (chapter 4.1) • Find the perfect book title (chapter 6.1) • Price your book to maximize both sales and impact (chapter 7.6) • Get an amazing book cover (chapter 7.4) WHY WRITE A BOOK? · 13 You’ll also learn… • What the most common writing obstacles are (chapter 1.2), and how to beat them (chapter 1.3) • Once you start writing, how to make sure your audience will love your book (chapters 4.2 and 4.3) • Editing techniques to ensure your book sounds exactly right (chapter 5.1) • Exactly who to use to help publish your book (chapter 8.1) • The key to writing book marketing copy that sells (chap- ter 7.1) • And of course, the most important thing you can do to make your book a success, that most authors get wrong (chapter 2.1) WHY LISTEN TO ME? Because I know how to write, publish, and market books.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Sidnie White Crawford Publications by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. The Qumran Collection as a Scribal Library Sidnie White Crawford Since the early days of Dead Sea Scrolls scholarship, the collection of scrolls found in the eleven caves in the vicinity of Qumran has been identified as a library.1 That term, however, was undefined in relation to its ancient context. In the Greco-Roman world the word “library” calls to mind the great libraries of the Hellenistic world, such as those at Alexandria and Pergamum.2 However, a more useful comparison can be drawn with the libraries unearthed in the ancient Near East, primarily in Mesopotamia but also in Egypt.3 These librar- ies, whether attached to temples or royal palaces or privately owned, were shaped by the scribal elite of their societies. Ancient Near Eastern scribes were the literati in a largely illiterate society, and were responsible for collecting, preserving, and transmitting to future generations the cultural heritage of their peoples. In the Qumran corpus, I will argue, we see these same interests of collection, preservation, and transmission. Thus I will demonstrate that, on the basis of these comparisons, the Qumran collection is best described as a library with an archival component, shaped by the interests of the elite scholar scribes who were responsible for it.

  • Jeremiah 8:8: Why Are Scribes Accused of Corrupting The
    H.L. Bosman Faculty of Theology, JEREMIAH 8:8: WHY Stellenbosch University, ARE SCRIBES ACCUSED South Africa. OF CORRUPTING E-mail: [email protected] THE TORAH? DOI: http://dx.doi. org/10.18820/23099089/ ABSTRACT actat.Sup26.7 Why are scribes accused, in Jeremiah 8:8-9, of corrupting ISSN 1015-8758 (Print) the “tôrāh”? The article contemplates possible answers ISSN 2309-9089 (Online) to this question against the background of what is presupposed in the Book of Jeremiah with regards to Acta Theologica 2018 “tôrāh” and being a scribe. Does this confront one with Suppl 26:118-135 a response triggered by the reformation of Josiah (older © Creative Commons interpretation) or by an indication of what took place much With Attribution (CC-BY) later during the gradual combination of Torah and Nebi’im as authoritative scripture in Persian and Hellenistic times (recent interpretation)? The article distinguishes between oral common law and written statutory law, in order to rectify anachronistic interpretations of all biblical laws as statutory laws (Berman 2014). The change from oral to written law, facilitated by the scribes, caused a legitimacy crisis and can be explained against the background of a new understanding of what “word of God” or “revelation” entailed (Van der Toorn 2013). 1. INTRODUCTION While reflecting on what might be an appropriate topic for this Festschrift, I assumed that the link between prophecy, the law and wisdom might be of some interest to Fanie Snyman, given his longstanding interest in Malachi and post-exilic prophecy. The decision to focus on Jeremiah 8:8 was triggered by the fact that there are only two references in the Old Testament where scribes are identified as writers of biblical texts and both of them are in the Book of Jeremiah (8:8-9; 36:18).

Every week, we talk with thought leaders that will help you improve your influence with factual evidence and concrete research. Introducing your host, Roger Dooley. Roger Dooley: Welcome to The Brainfluence Podcast. I'm Roger Dooley. Austin is home to some interesting people and today we're going to talk with one of the most interesting. Our guest graduated summa cum laude from the University of Chicago in 1998 and earned his JD from Duke Law School in 2001. Now, most newly minted lawyers with these qualifications would probably have jumped on the partner track at a white shoe law firm. Do people really wear white shoes? But instead, he decided to write full time. The writing didn't get traction immediately, but in short order, our guest was sued by Miss Vermont, got massive national media coverage, was the subject of an MTV documentary, and accepted a TV deal with 20th Century Fox. A couple of years later, his book "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell", was published and hit the New York Times Best Seller List. Eventually, the book would lead to a movie deal and spend more than 100 weeks on the New York Times List. This book, and a couple of subsequent bestsellers penned by our guest, are credited with creating a type of literature called “fratire”.

PREFACE BY THE GENERAL EDITOR FOR THE OLD TESTAMENT. THE present General Editor for the Old Testament in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges desires to say that, in accordance with the policy of his predecessor the Bishop of Worcester, he does not hold himself responsible for the particular interpreta­ tions adopted or for the opinions expressed by the editors of the several Books, nor has he endeavoured to bring them into agreement with one another. It is inevitable that there should be differences of opinion in regard to many questions of criticism and interpretation, and it seems best that these differences should find free expression in different volumes. He has endeavoured to secure, as far as possible, that the general scope and character of the series should be observed, and that views which have ·a reasonable claim to consideration should not be ignored, but he has felt it best that the final responsibility should, in general, rest with the individual contributors.

  • The Dead Sea Scrolls
    A VISIT TO SOME DEAD SEA SCROLLS. November 2007 As remembered by Bill Huntley and Lillian Larsen On this morning after the encounter with some of the Dead Sea Scrolls in San Diego's Museum of Natural History, I find myself inspired by the memorable encounter with the ancient writings and those who hid them for almost two thousand years in the caves near Qumran, the keen questions and insights of a hundred Redlands students, alums, and their friends,; and the organizing skills of Ms. Coco Haupt who brought us all together for a day of inquiry. I must confess to some anxiety at the prospect of trying to answer questions from a hundred different perspectives when I was not sure which scrolls would be on display, my first move was to invite my new colleague in Religious Studies at the U. of R.; Dr, Lillian Larsen, who teaches Christian Scriptures as well as World Religions. She brings a background in Greek and Coptic languages to the Scrolls, more recent than my study 40 years ago in a class in which we were assigned small fragments of the Hodayot (Psalm Scroll). Driving down for this opportunity, as I went over the hill South of Temecula and saw first hand the extent of the fires on both sides of the 15 Freeway, it framed what I might say today. What I saw on the 15 Freeway gave a sense of the destruction that happened just last week, [and 2000 years ago at] Qumran. Those who wrote the Scrolls met just such a fate, by the human agency of the Romans.

  • "The Scrolls and the Scribes of the New Testament," Bulletin of the Evangelical Theological Society 1.3 (Summer 1958): 8-19
    Joseph H. Dampier, "The Scrolls and the Scribes of the New Testament," Bulletin of the Evangelical Theological Society 1.3 (Summer 1958): 8-19. The Scrolls and the Scribes of the New Testament Joseph H. Dampier Johnson City, Tennessee [p.8] The finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls has brought with it an intense interest in the Essenes. That the existence of this party or confraternity which is designated by Josephus as a philosophic sect must have continued in Palestine with the Pharisees and Sadducees into the period described in the Gospels is almost universally taken for granted. Then why are there no Essenes in the New Testament? The Qumran Community must have existed near the Dead Sea from at least 100 B.C. to 68 A.D. It is not mentioned in the Gospels. The size of the cemetery would indicate a sizable membership. The solution most generally accepted is that the Essenes and the Qumran covenanters were the same people and, if not identical, were so closely identified that the one is a part of the other. This does not answer the question of the silence of the New Testament on these contemporary religious movements or sects. A possible solution to this problem is that Qumran and/or the Essenes may have been known under more than one name and that they are present in the New Testament under a different name than in Josephus and Philo. The Qumran sectaries (perhaps known in Josephus as the Essenes) are known in the New Testament as the Scribes. The Qumran Community hid a library of Biblical and non-Biblical manuscripts, and the ruins of the monastery has a scriptorium with desks still in place.

Introduction 1.1 Introduction to this study This study provides an overview of the shabtis for the priest Nesypernub. In addition to the published examples, we added the shabtis we have come across in the world, with the help of Glenn Janes work and Sehedj database. We will start with an introduction of the owner Nesy-per-nub and describe his shabtis in general. In the following chapters you will find the museum parallels (chapter 2) and the privately owned parallels (chapter 3). 1.2 Who was Nesy-per-nub? This great Theban priest is known to us from his burial equipment found in the second cache at Deir el-Bahari. His name can be translated as: "the one who belongs to the house of gold". His coffin, preserved in the Vienna Museum (KHM ÄS 6268 and 6269), tells us that he had many titles, some of which are regularly inscribed on his shabtis. For example: "God’s Father of Amen, Mut and Khonsu", "Scribe of the temple of Mut", "Priest of Thot", "Chief of the Great Place" (i.e., of the necropolis), "Great controller", "Man of confidence" ..
