Ancient Worlds in Digital Culture
The volume presents a selection of research projects in Digital Humanities applied to the “Biblical Studies” in the widest sense and context, including Early Jewish and Christian studies, hence the title “Ancient Worlds”. Taken as a whole, the volume explores the emergent Digital Culture at the beginning of the 21st century. It also offers many examples which attest to a change of paradigm in the textual scholarship of “Ancient Worlds”: categories are reshaped; textuality is (re-) investigated according to its relationships with orality and visualization; methods, approaches and practices are no longer a fixed conglomeration but are mobilized according to their contexts and newly available digital tools.
Ancient Manuscripts in Digital Culture
Ancient Manuscripts in Digital Culture presents an overview of the digital turn in Ancient Jewish and Christian manuscripts visualisation, data mining and communication. Edited by David Hamidovic, Claire Clivaz and Sarah Bowen Savant, it gathers together the contributions of seventeen scholars involved in Biblical, Early Jewish and Christian studies. The volume attests to the spreading of digital humanities in these fields and presents fundamental analysis of the rise of visual culture as well as specific test-cases concerning ancient manuscripts. Sophisticated visualisation tools, stylometric analysis, teaching and visual data, epigraphy and visualisation belong notably to the varied overview presented in the volume.
A Guide to Early Jewish Texts and Traditions in Christian Transmission
The Jewish culture of the Hellenistic and early Roman periods established a basis for all monotheistic religions, but its main sources have been preserved to a great degree through Christian transmission. This Guide is devoted to problems of preservation, reception, and transformation of Jewish texts and traditions of the Second Temple period in the many Christian milieus from the ancient world to the late medieval era. It approaches this corpus not as an artificial collection of reconstructed texts--a body of hypothetical originals--but rather from the perspective of the preserved materials, examined in their religious, social, and political contexts. It also considers the other, non-Christian, channels of the survival of early Jewish materials, including Rabbinic, Gnostic, Manichaean, and Islamic. This unique project brings together scholars from many different fields in order to map the trajectories of early Jewish texts and traditions among diverse later cultures. It also provides a comprehensive and comparative introduction to this new field of study while bridging the gap between scholars of early Judaism and of medieval Christianity.
Digital Humanities in Biblical, Early Jewish and Early Christian Studies
Ancient texts, once written by hand on parchment and papyrus, are now increasingly discoverable online in newly digitized editions, and their readers now work online as well as in traditional libraries. So what does this mean for how scholars may now engage with these texts, and for how the disciplines of biblical, Jewish and Christian studies might develop? These are the questions that contributors to this volume address. Subjects discussed include textual criticism, palaeography, philology, the nature of ancient monotheism, and how new tools and resources such as blogs, wikis, databases and digital publications may transform the ways in which contemporary scholars engage with historical sources. Contributors attest to the emergence of a conscious recognition of something new in the way that we may now study ancient writings, and the possibilities that this new awareness raises.
"Retribution" in Jewish and Christian Writings
"The quest to define the concept of retribution leads the authors of this volume beyond Jewish and Christian writings to the common objects and components governing the definition of the concept in Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity, as well as Greek, Islamic, and Buddhist texts." --
Les racines bibliques de l'imaginaire des pandémies
Les crises sanitaires perçues dans l'Antiquité peuvent nous donner quelques pistes de compréhension de la crise sanitaire que nous venons de vivre. L'historien David Hamidovic montre que chaque civilisation entretient son propre rapport à la mort, son propre imaginaire issu d'un long et lent processus culturel. Cet imaginaire à l'oeuvre s'appuie en partie sur des ressorts très anciens. Le Moyen Âge occidental a fourni la matrice à la perception européenne des crises sanitaires à cause de différentes épidémies dévastatrices. Mais cette perception n'est pas née en Europe au Moyen Âge. Elle repose en grande partie sur un héritage venu du Proche-Orient ancien, notamment la culture biblique prenant place dans le judaïsme ancien et le christianisme primitif. Comprendre la nature de cet héritage, c'est connaître l'imaginaire contemporain à l'oeuvre pour le mettre à distance. Comprendre notre imaginaire de la crise sanitaire, c'est aussi pouvoir agir sur celle-ci.
The Reception of Biblical Figures
This volume explores the reception of biblical figures in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with a particular focus on Antiquity and incursions in the Middle Ages and modernity. The contributions included here offer a glimpse of the complexity of the mechanics of transmission to which these figures were subjected in extra-biblical texts, either concentrating on one author or corpus in particular, or broadening the scope across time and cultural contexts. The volume intends to shed light on how these biblical figures and their legacies appear as channels of collective memory and identity; how they became tools for authors to achieve specific goals; how they gained new and powerful authority for communities; and how they transcend traditions and cultural boundaries. As a result, the vitality and fluidity of the developments of traditions become clear and prompt caution when using modern categories.
L'INTERMINABLE FIN DU MONDE
Des fragments mayas aux centuries de Nostradamus, de l'an mil à l'an deux mille, des prophéties de l'Antiquité aux prédictions du New Age, la fin du monde hante les consciences, habite la littérature et prétend hâter l'histoire. Mais ce sont le judaïsme et le christianisme qui donnent tout son sens à l'apocalyptique dont David Hamidovic se fait ici, pour nous, le guide. Bestiaires, être célestes, créatures surnaturelles, mais aussi enfers, paradis : les univers que dessinent le Livre de Daniel, le Livre d'Hénoch, l'Apocalypse de Jean de Patmos, sont à interpréter. En une démonstration savante où la pédagogie le dispute à la virtuosité, ce livre montre combien les visions ...

Our Godly Sexual Beings
Our Godly Sexual Beings explores scripture and other ancient texts to unveil one of humanity's great mysteries--God's purpose for designing our Godly sexual beings. After thirty years of committed research and study, Donna Mack perceived an essential missing link from the age-old battle of God vs. Satan. While other books have attempted to discuss human sexuality, none have done so with as many biblical and scholarly-backed references as Our Godly Sexual Beings. One fascinating revelation in scripture is just how sacred human sexuality exists for God. The Bible sings with this truth, and Donna dives into this mystery to reveal the greatest love story ever told! With the help of over 1,300 references, Donna uncovers God's design for sex and Satan's influence that morphed this gift into a lie of lust. This book is full of many revelations and truths that will allow the reader to experience freedom from sexual sin, shame, and bondage.
