Birth of the Bible (continued)

This year's lectures continue the investigation into the birth of the Hebrew Bible. The major literary traditions and ensembles will be addressed, such as the priestly document, the rewriting of Deuteronomistic history in the Books of Chronicles, wisdom traditions and song collections (the Psalter). The lecture will also address the question of the methods used to identify producing environments. Advances in the use of digital humanities methods could help clarify certain hypotheses.
