The Jewish Bible

It also includes short histories of Bible translations and commentaries, a guide to characters and places, plus an introduction to Biblical poetry, storytelling, law and Bible study.
Printing and Misprinting
The history of the book may be a technological triumph, spreading freedom and knowledge, but it also a story of errors and adjustments. When printing runs flawlessly, we see little of its process. But misprints and in-house corrections offer us the unique chance to witness aspects of the printing process that would otherwise remain invisible.
Textual Criticism and Sacred Texts
In Textual Criticism and Sacred Texts, Signe Cohen looks at the text-critical scholarship on sacred texts across disciplines. She traces the development of the genealogical method and discusses its role in textual criticism today. The book examines the applicability of traditional text-critical methods to oral texts as well as the roles of translations and commentaries in textual criticism. Cohen then turns to the under-theorized question of the relationship between religion and text-critical scholarship and outlines ethics of textual criticism applied to religious texts. She then discusses how new digital technologies will change the textual scholarship of the future and proposes new ways that scholars can collaborate across sub-disciplines.
The Dark Bible
The Dark Bible explores early modern England's interactions with difficult aspects of the Bible. It charts early modern English use of biblical scholarship in vernacular culture and investigates how vernacular writing in various genres could give voice to questioning and confused biblical interactions.
