    The tablets of Ebla (near Aleppo, Syria) provide an early example.

    Here excavators found approximately 2,000 clay tablets dating back to 2300 b.c.e., recording information about food, clothing, and raw materials, apparently used as a palace archives. A similar cache was found at Ras Shamra, Syria, reflecting the 13th-century b.c.e. city Ugarit.

    I have "come across" several of these citations in other articles. I do not think that supports the premise that writing and literature were prevalent and common place in the time of Moses....or even the time of Christ. Those cultures were still primarily oral in nature. I think the evidence supports that.

    Yet it still shows that writing was available at that time and not as uncommon as many thought.

    No, it was not common, particularly for the common man. What language do you think Moses spoke (or wrote) in?

    I'm finding the people who want to let the Bible speak for itself:

    6 days
    Adam and Eve
    Divine revelation to Moses
    Mosaic authorship
    An Exodus
    The parting of the Red Sea

    etc.

    Don't like Enns' book, and those who want to speak for the Bible to "clarify"

    6 days
    Adam and Eve
    Divine revelation to Moses
    Mosaic authorship
    An Exodus
    The parting of the Red Sea

    Do like the book.

    You perhaps forgot to mention, best I can tell, everyone affirms YHWH, Christ the Messiah and the Holy Spirit.

    Affirm what about them? Certainly nothing the Scriptures say themselves.
