#SBL2017 HyperNT – A new interactive database for the New Testament, Early Christian Literature and its reception history

20171120_183238_001
In the “SBL Digital Humanities in Biblical, Early Jewish, and
Christian Studies Section,” I was able to hear Jörg Röder (Universität Basel) present “HyperNT – A new interactive database for the New Testament, Early Christian Literature and its reception history.” As the picture above of one of his slides show, the goal is to draw together a specific Greek text with translations and texts and media of its reception linked with a wide range of contributors. He noted how this project is similar to HyperHamlet which provides a large database of the use of quotes from Hamlet and which is crowdsourced for its content. Nothing I can point to online for now, but this is an interesting and ambitious project.
