Further Projects
The Bonn Exegetical Lexicon (BEL) is intended to be a reference work that summarises and explains exegetical terms.
Where and when, and in connection with which events, was there increased settlement activity in ancient Near East and the cultural area that surrounded it? The emergence and disappearance of tells - settlement mounds - can be accurately resolved and dynamically represented geographically and temporally using modern digital representation methods, enabling novel and unexpected insights into the dynamics of cultural contacts. For this purpose, the toolset developed by Søren Lorenzen and Anika Bahr in cooperation with Bonn Center for Digital Humanities, will be used both in teaching and as a research tool at the protestant theological faculty.
