Subject: forthcoming book
Dear Humanists:
I hope the following will be of interest to at least some of us, e.g., with
regard to * notions of literacy and critical thinking, and the possible
impacts on these notions resulting from shifting from print to electronic
culture; * various hermeneutical traditions and their relation to
manuscript, book, and electronic media; and * the shape and cultural roles
of humanistic traditions and disciplines - including logic and critical
thinking, and the role of the Reader, the Scholar, and the Librarian (Eep
Talstra) - vis-a-vis changes in media brought about by the emergence of
computers and computer networks.

Critical Thinking and the Bible in the Age of New Media, edited by Charles
Ess. (Lanham, Maryland: University Press of America, 2004)
Critical Thinking and the Bible in the Age of New Media collects
contemporary scholarship to address the question: What does critical
thinking about the Bible - e.g., as applied in Jewish and Christian
traditions of interpretation, theology, and our very understanding of what
"Scripture" means - "look like" as the Bible (_the_ Book of the age of
print) is transmediated from print to electronic formats?
This volume, the first of its kind, is made up of contributions originally
developed for a conference sponsored by the American Bible Society.
Contributors represent a wide diversity of religious traditions and academic
disciplines--philosophy, biblical studies, theology, feminism, aesthetics,
communication theory, and media studies. Ess's Introduction summarizes the
individual chapters and then develops their broader significance for
contemporary debates regarding media, postmodernism, and the possible
relationships between faith and reason.
