invite you to attend:
"CROSSING BORDERS: ANCIENT EGYPT, CANAAN AND ISRAEL"
Saturday November 7th, 1998
**********************************************************
"Crossing Borders" is an opportunity to explore the enduring impact of
Egypt, Canaan and Israel, and to examine the historical core of the
traditions which still resonate in our society today. Despite a jumble of
cultures and borders separating them, these lands were linked by roads,
sea, trade, war, culture, and mythic moments. Six well-known
archaeologists, biblical scholars and Egyptologists will present their
latest thinking in a lecture format interspersed with discussions,
questions,
and social activities. Advance registration is strongly recommended.
