EBR - Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception:

Edited by Hans-Josef Klauck [et al.] in cooperation with Dale Allison [et al.]

Berlin : de Gruyter, 2008 - 2018

30 volume set

In English

The encyclopedia pursues a twofold task: Firstly to present the current state of knowledge on the origins and history of the Bible according to its different canonic forms in Judaism and Christianity. And secondly to document the history of the Bible’s reception not only in the Christian churches and the Jewish Diaspora but also in the literature, art, music, and film of other religious traditions including Islam and current religious movements.

With this broad program of reception history, EBR moves into new terrain, seeking to do justice to the fact that the biblical texts have not only had their own particular genetic background, but have also been received and interpreted by countless other religious, theological, aesthetic settings, that in turn have seen a comparable influence of the biblical texts upon themselves.
