Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception
The Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception (EBR) pursues a
twofold task:
Firstly, it comprehensively renders the current state of knowledge
on the origins and development of the Bible according to its different
canonic forms in Judaism and Christianity.
2
Secondly, it documents the history of the Bible’s reception, not only
in the Christian churches and the Jewish Diaspora, but also in
literature, art, music, and film, as well as Islam and other religious
traditions and current religious movements.
With the help of a comprehensive search engine the online edition
of the EBR makes the articles fully searchable.
Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception
With this broad program of reception history, EBR moves into new
terrain, seeking to do justice to the fact that the biblical texts not
only have their own particular genetic background and setting but
also have been received and interpreted, and exerted their
influence, in countless and diverse religious, theological, and
aesthetic settings. EBR will shape scholarship on the Bible and its
3
aesthetic settings. EBR will shape scholarship on the Bible and its
reception.
EBR is a resource tool for scholars in biblical studies and related
fields but also accessible to general readers interested in the Bible.
It is edited by an international team of scholars, all experts in their
fields.
EBR will be published in English, and the articles will appear in print
and online.
