"Genesis 1:3. And God said: Be light made. And light was made."

Biblical studies is a primarily text-driven discipline, which is why teachers of sacred scripture are generally on the leading edge of educational technologies that promote intertextual engagement.

When we encounter a text, moreover, we do so asynchronously -- out of the given time and place in which it was composed -- in order to find meaning within it for its author, for those whom it first influenced,  and for various communities throughout history who were and are influenced by not only the sacred texts, but also the recorded words of centuries of commentators.

In entering a text, then, we form a relationship with it, and through our textual relationships, we generate meaning that we often record in the form of text -- hence, seventeen centuries of biblical scholarship that is ongoing in our teaching and learning environments in the form of scholarly publications, student research papers, class discussion boards, and the like.

To that end, this site is devoted to exploring how the intertextual nature of scholarship in sacred scripture is being engaged in an age of digital orthography.
