Millard. Respectful of his contribution to our understanding of writing and literacy in the ancient biblical world, all the essays deal with some aspect of this issue, ranging in scope from archeological artifacts that need to be \"\"read,\"\" to early evidence of writing in Israel's world, to the significance of reading and writing in the Bible, including God's own literacy, to the production of books in the ancient world, and the significance of metaphorical branding of God's people with his name. The contributors are distributed among Professor Millard's peers and colleagues in a variety of institutions, his own students, and students of his students. They represent a variety of disciplines including biblical archeology, Egyptology, Assyriology, Hebrew and other Northwest Semitic texts, and the literature of the Bible, and reside in North America, Japan, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrite That They May Read contains contributions by: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 1: Artifacts and Minimalist Literacy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. \"\"See That You May Understand\"\": Artifact Literacy--The Twin-cup Libation Vessels from Khirbet Qeiyafa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGerald Klingbeil, Research Professor of Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Andrews University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin Klingbeil, Professor of Biblical Studies and Archaeology, and Associate Director, Institute of Archaeology Southern Adventist University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 2.
