Internet Resources for the Study of Judaism and Christianity, compiled by Jay C. Treat

http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~jtreat/rs/resources.html

This page lists a number of sites on the Internet that are useful for the study of Judaism and Christianity. The list is necessarily partial, provisional, and even parochial. A casual glance will show how Penn-centered it is.

It is amazing that this much relevant information already exists on the Internet. Some of this material is brilliant, and much of it is useful. One should realize, however, that most original research must still begin in a good library. The Internet is a good place for discussing research, for testing out approaches, and for sharing the fruits of scholarship. Most of the original material currently available on the Internet is written on the level of an introductory encyclopedia or undergraduate course, but primary sources and scholarly articles and journals are coming on line at an increasing pace. If you cannot find the material you are looking for, check back in a month or two — or else take the initiative to put it on line yourself. We all benefit from well-crafted presentations of useful material.

Announcing a new online resource for biblical scholars

Research at the University of Cambridge has shed new light on the history of the Bible. Recent work by Professor Nicholas de Lange has demonstrated that, contrary to long-accepted views, the use of Greek versions by Jews continued well into the middle ages. The key to the discovery lay in manuscripts discovered in the old synagogue in Cairo and brought to Cambridge at the end of the nineteenth century. Close study of the Genizah fragments by de Lange revealed that some contained passages from the Bible in Greek written in Hebrew letters. Manuscripts in other libraries confirmed the evidence of the Cambridge fragments. Now, a fully searchable online corpus (http://www.gbbj.org) has gathered these manuscripts together, making the texts available to other scholars for the first time. The result of close collaboration between researchers at the University of Cambridge, including Cameron Boyd-Taylor and Julia Krivoruchko, and a team at Kings College London, the online corpus comprises the exact remains of Jewish Greek Bible versions, edited from the manuscripts. The resource enables comparison of each word of the corpus with the Hebrew tex

Prezentul Indice bibliografic este unul dintre rezultatele eforturilor de documentare depuse în cadrul proiectului de cercetare Viața de zi cu zi in timpul lui Rabbi Iisus, proiect ce și-a propus să investigheze legătura dintre principalele aspecte caracteristice ale vieții sociale, politice și culturale din regiunea Orientului Mijlociu, în așa numita perioada intertestamentară, sec. III î. Hr.-sec II d. Hr. și originele creștinismului, cu referire aplicată la viața lui Iisus Hristos reflectată în cărțile canonice ale Noului Testament și în alte izvoare extrabiblice. În vederea unei înțelegeri cât mai corecte a vieții și a învățăturii lui Iisus Hristos, este nevoie de contextualizarea spațio-temporală a evenimentelor care au marcat istoria creștinismului, cu referire directă la limbile care se vorbeau în acea perioadă, la diferitele apoftegme curente, la obiceiurile evreilor, romanilor și grecilor, la partidele politico-religioase, la vestimentație și îndeletniciri, la arhitectura caselor, templelor și palatelor, la principalele descoperiri arheologice din ultimii ani din Israel.
Bibliografia pe tema proiectului este una uriașă, însă adesea greu de identificat și localizat, dată fiind dezvoltarea fără precedent a cercetărilor istorice și arheologice, din ultimele decenii. Acest Indice bibliografic vine în ajutorul cercetătorilor, oferindu-le o listă de peste 2000 de surse, monografii, studii, articole și alte materiale utile în explorarea multiplelor dimensiuni ale vieții cotidiene din biblicul Israel. Sunt prezentate, îndeosebi, materiale în engleză, franceză și germană – limbi în care au fost publicate, cu precădere, rezultatele semnificative ale cercetării în domeniul arheologiei și istoriei biblice – fără a fi omise contribuțiile remarcabile din alte spații culturale și lingvistice.
