Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 3 years, 5 months agoDear SMT Community,
This week I learned that anyone may post an “update” on the SMT Humanities Commons page, as I am doing now, and the message will be sent to all group members. In this way, Scott Fruehwald emailed hundreds of SMT members with the unprovoked and, in my opinion, reprehensible assertion that Philip Ewell is an “academic fraud…[Read more]

Collin Cornell deposited The Value of Egyptian Aramaic for Biblical Studies in the group
Hebrew Bible / Old Testament on Humanities Commons 3 years, 5 months agoBiblical Aramaic accounts for a small fraction within the two-testament Christian Bible. Studying it would seem therefore to present a modest value for biblical studies, and Egyptian Aramaic, a nonbiblical counterpart from the same historical era, even more so. The present article argues, however, that comparing Egyptian Aramaic with biblical…[Read more]

The question is spurred by Kerry Sonia’s Caring for the Dead, which argues that the cult of dead kin was an accepted practice in the culture of the biblical writers. In building this thesis, Sonia resists an idea popular in scholarship that the Hebrew Bible promotes a negative view of r…[Read more]

Matthew Suriano deposited What Did Feeding the Dead Mean? Two Case Studies from Iron Age Tombs at Beth-Shemesh in the group
Biblical Studies on Humanities Commons 3 years, 5 months agoFeeding the dead was an accepted cultural practice in the world of biblical writers. It is circumscribed by cultic considerations in passages such as Deut 26:14, but there are no texts that prohibit the placing of food inside tombs. Thus, the biblical writers tacitly acknowledged the practice, though feeding the dead is never explicitly prescribed…[Read more]
