== Critical Editions of the Hebrew Bible == |
|||
The purpose of the Critical Editions of the Hebrew Bible (CEHB) project is to enable collaborative research on critical editions of the [[Oxford Hebrew Bible|Hebrew Bible]]. In particular, the project supports editions of 1 Kings (edited by [[Jan Joosten (biblical scholar)|Jan Joosten]]) and Psalms 101–150 (edited by John Screnock) that will be published in The Hebrew Bible: A Critical Edition. Each volume will contain an introduction, a critically reconstructed text using readings from multiple witnesses, and a commentary on the development of the text and the reasoning behind the reconstruction of the critical text. |
|||
The CEHB serves as a hub for research and debate on Hebrew Bible textual criticism. The project is also a point of departure for engagement with the public on the significance of textual criticism. |
|||
CEHB is supported by the [[Arts and Humanities Research Council]]. |
