SUMMARY:Biblical Texts in Diaspora and Digital Humanities
DESCRIPTION:
 University of Michigan Professor of Classical 
 Studies Arthur Verhoogt and Michigan State University 
 Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies 
 Robert Anderson will speak about the U.M.'s 
 digital papyri collection and M.S.U.'s digital 
 Samaritan Manuscripts.  Joining Dr. Anderson 
 will be William Hart-Davidson, Associate 
 Professor of M.S.U.'s Writing, Rhetoric, and 
 American Culture and Jim Ridolfo, Assistant 
 Professor of writing, rhetoric, and digital studies 
 at University of Kentucky. The U.M. Papyrology 
 collection and MSU Libraries' Chamberlain 
 Warren Samaritan Collection are both the 
 largest of their kind in the United States, 
 and both contain materials that are strongly 
 connected to the Old and New Testament. This 
 talk will feature and demonstrate how these 
 scholars have created and implemented digital 
 applications that make possible new ways of 
 understanding and communicating with biblical 
 texts that come from the world over.\n
