    CONTEX-L on LISTSERV@UOTTAWA

       CONTEX-L is an academic special interest group (also known as a
       Listserv List) for all who are interested in the
       cross-disciplinary analysis of ancient texts.  This list provides
       a forum for the scholarly, informal and polite discussion of the
       social worlds behind and within the texts of antiquity, including
       those of the Hebrew bible, early Christianity, Rabbinic Judaism
       and all the literature associated with the Graeco-Roman world.

       Any discussion which involves cross (inter/multi) disciplinary
       modeling and analysis and attempts to move beyond *intuitive*
       historical criticism is considered valid.  Such methodologies
       include and encompass social-scientific criticism, feminist
       hermeneutics, sociological exegesis, social history, political
       science, psychohistory, and anthropology (social, cultural,
       symbolic linguistic...).

       To subscribe send mail or an interactive message to LISTSERV@UOTTAWA
