July 25, 2006A Tiny Piece of Good News...
A medieval Irish manuscript has been discovered. Experts have dated the book as from 800-1000 of the Common Era. To learn why that’s such a pleasant thing to contemplate, read Thomas Cahill’s most entertaining book How the Irish Saved Civilization.

Great find and a great book by Thomas Cahill. It's funny to date such an incredible Christian find in the 'common era.' Particularly to a book opened to this: "Show them you alone are the LORD, the Most High over all the earth." That's how the Irish saved civilization. Posted by: Casey Khan at July 26, 2006 9:50 AMAccording to CNN, the book was found open to the 83rd Psalm. This is the psalm traditionally recited by Jewish congregations when war/genocide is waged against the Jews. The psalm references a confederacy of various nations, including "the inhabitants of Tyre," who band together to wipe out Israel, and asks God for help in the matter. I'm not a student of the Da Vinci Code, Biblical prophecy, etc., but it is a neat coincidence. Posted by: Alan Gura at July 26, 2006 8:14 PM |
