While trying to teach my children the Children’s Catechism, I found my children easily distracted (big surprise!) and at times getting bored due to the repetition. Further, we always had to use a screen to keep track of the questions, which is less than ideal and less than personal. My wife had the idea to create flash cards, but this would be quite the endeavor to do by hand—unless of course you created just one each time your child learned a new question.

In addition to my previous posts on the Ugaritic language, I have also created an Open Font Licensed Ugaritic Font, aptly called “Redemption Studio Ugaritic”. The other various fonts I saw were not free fonts, save for one. This font, under the Open Font License, can be used for any purpose as long as the creator of the font is given credit. You can read the license here: http://scripts.sil.org/OFL. I have provided a TTF, OTF, and WOFF file below.

When I first began my seminary work, I didn’t know how to handle styling for my documents. Sure, the SBL Handbook had various bits of information, but did I really have to parse through it all for every document? Yes, and no.

My first inkling was then to find a template document, but I could not find one.

While reading The Letters of Samuel Rutherford,1 I came across this quotation. In the meantime, I am pained with his love, because I want real possession. When Christ cometh, he stayeth not long. But certainly the blowing of his breath upon a poor soul is heaven upon earth; and when the wind turneth into the north, and he goeth away, I die, till the wind change into the west, and he visit his prisoner.

I compiled those charts into the following documents for convenience and share them here. Ugaritic Cheat Sheet PDF Ugaritic Cheat Sheet ODS Ugaritic Cheat Sheet XLSX
