• The reader also must have appropriate fonts, and appropriate "smart" font rendering support (if combining diacritic characters are used). ...

• Course description: This course conducts a comparative exploration of the way shared characters and/or narrative scenarios are depicted in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scriptures and in their respective interpretive traditions. After a brief exposure to the modern historical-critical method of reading and interpreting both Bible and Qur’ān, we will study the depictions of the ‘biblical’ characters found in the Qur’ān as well as reacquaint ourselves (if need be) with the ways these same characters are represented in the Jewish and Christian Bibles. ... We will also explore the interpretive penumbra surrounding these characters as registered in apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, midrash, folktale, tafsīr, and ta’rīkh with an eye toward achieving a better understanding of the ‘mechanisms’ governing scriptural characterization within and across these particular religions. ...

• The Influence of African Scholars on Biblical Studies:.
• From a prominently North American point of view, the author presents the results of her research on research done on Africa, the conversation between African and African-American scholars, and methodological insights coming out of these areas in biblical studies. Basing her conclusions mainly on the publications in the Journal of Biblical Literature, but also including the African Theological Journal, the Journal of the Interdenominational Theological Center, and the Journal of Theology for Southern Africa, Heisey argues that is mainly due to African-American and African biblical scholars that the "Africanness" of the biblical literature is being acknowledged and that the newer methods used in the guild are producing a fruitful intersection between biblical studies and African studies. ...
• 1 This paper, however, proposes to investigate the influence of African and African American scholars who focus particularly on Africa-related questions within biblical studies, a sister discipline to religion and theology. The field of biblical studies is defined to include historical, literary, textual, cultural and theological research on the materials in both the Hebrew Bible and the Christian New Testament. In order to assess the impact that this scholarship from Africa and by Africans has had on biblical studies, this paper will consider three broad areas. First, it will observe the use of research on Africa in antiquity as it relates to topics in biblical studies. Next, it will present research on the conversation between African and African American biblical scholars and the broader community of biblical scholars. Finally, it will assess the use of insights from research in Africa on methodologies which have emerged recently for the analysis of biblical texts. ...
• In all three areas, this research will use as one point of reference the contents of the Journal of Biblical Literature (JBL), the "flagship" periodical of the Society of Biblical Literature—perhaps the largest and most prestigious learned society for North American biblical scholars, which also includes some international scholars. ... 2 The choice of this journal as a point of reference indicates that the most prominently represented perspective here is that of the biblical studies scholarly community in the United States, and to a certain extent in Canada. ...
• This paper will show that research on Africa in antiquity and on ancient African languages has historically been important for biblical studies, but that only recent work, much of it by African American scholars, has insisted that such research consider the "Africanness" of the data. Further, it will suggest that at present the involvement of African and African American scholars in the discourse of North American biblical scholarship is still in its infancy. Finally, it will suggest that the most significant intersection of biblical studies with African studies is in the realm of the newer methods of biblical criticism. ...
• The 1992 Anchor Bible Dictionary (ABD) provides several important intersections between biblical studies and African studies. ... With the original texts in Hebrew and Greek, the first biblical translations were made into three languages used in Africa: Greek (from Hebrew), Coptic—a descendent of Egyptian—and Latin. ...
