Additional sections cover the global manifestations of religious community, identity, ethics, and authority, with a final group of chapters addressing emerging technologies and the future of the field."

"The Dictionary of the Bible and Ancient Media is a convenient and authoritative reference tool, introducing specific terms and concepts helpful to the study of the Bible and related literature in ancient communications culture. Since the early 1980s, biblical scholars have begun to explore the pote

ntials of interdisciplinary theories of oral tradition, oral performance, personal and collective memory, ancient literacy and scribality, visual culture and ritual. Over time these theories have been combined with considerations of critical and exegetical problems in the study of the Bible, the history of Israel, Christian origins, and rabbinics. The Dictionary of the Bible and Ancient Media responds to the rapid growth of the field by providing a source of reference that offers clear definitions, and in-depth discussions of relevant terms and concepts, and the relationships between them. The volume begins with an overview of 'ancient media studies' and a brief history of research to orient the reader to the field and the broader research context of the book, with individual entries on terms and topics commonly encountered in studies of the Bible in ancient media culture. Each entry defines the term/ concept under consideration, then offers more sustained discussion of the topic, paying particular attention to its relevance for the study of the Bible and related literature."

"Martin Dreyer, der 1965 geborene Gründer der Jesus Freaks, startete 2004 das Volxbibel-Projekt, dessen sprachlicher Duktus im oben angeführten Zitat ironisch aufgegriffen wird. Anders als bei kommunikativen Übersetzungen der letzten fünfzig Jahre (bspw. Hoffnung für alle 3 oder Gute Nachricht

4) ging es ihm nicht nur um einen zeitgemäßen und allgemeinverständlichen Sprachstil. Die Volxbibel sollte von Jugendlichen für Jugendliche ›übersetzt‹ werden, was durch ein Open-Source-Modell im Internet verwirklicht wurde. Seit der Jahrtausendwende entstanden neben dem Volxbibel-Projekt drei weitere Bibelprojekte, die eng mit dem Medium Internet verknüpft sind und im Folgenden kurz vorgestellt werden sollen. Kurz nachdem das Volxbibel-Projekt konkrete Formen annahm, wurde in der Deutschen Bibelgesellschaft der Entschluss gefasst, eine neue, moderne Bibelübersetzung in Angriff zu nehmen. Es handelt sich bei der BasisBibel um eine von ausgebildeten Theologen und Philologen vorgenommene Übersetzung, bei deren Erstellung die Bedingungen der neuen Medien besondere Berücksichtigung fanden – sei es in der Distribution, der multimedialen Präsentation oder der Interaktion mit Lesern [...] Das Phänomen der LOLCats (›laughing-out-loud-cat‹) lässt sich bis ins Jahr 2006 zurückverfolgen. In diversen Foren wurden Fotos von Katzen mit witzigen Sprüchen versehen, die meist in einem orthographisch und grammatikalisch fehlerhaften Englisch verfasst waren, dem sogenannten Kitty-Pidgin. Bereits 2007 konnte eine kommerziell betriebene Webseite mit LOLCat-Bildern Gewinne erzielen. Im Herbst desselben Jahres gründete der College-Student Martin Grondin ein Projekt, bei dem Internetnutzer aufgerufen sind, auf der wiki-ähnlich strukturierten Seite www.lolcatbible.com die King-James-Übersetzung in Kitty-Pidgin umzuformulieren [...] Ähnlich spielerisch war der Rekordversuch, den die Redaktion des Internetportals www.evangelisch.de zum Kirchentag 2009 startete. Registrierte Nutzer des Portals und Besucher des Kirchentags sollten innerhalb von zehn Tagen die komplette Luther-Übersetzung in 140 Zeichen lange Twitter-Beiträge umformulieren. Das Ergebnis wurde im selben Jahr unter dem Titel … Und Gott chillte veröffentlicht, kann aber auch weiterhin im Internet eingesehen und kommentiert werden." (Seite 137-138)

dia dos esforços da Sociedade Bíblica Britânica Estrangeira ou da Sociedade Bíblica Americana. A Sociedade Bíblica do Brasil (SBB) foi fundada em 1948 após a junção das sociedades estrangeiras que operaram no País por mais de 100 anos. Porém, o boom de publicação de bíblias se deu após 1995, com o estabelecimento da “Gráfica da Bíblia”. Desde então, a SBB imprimiu 100 milhões de exemplares, os quais foram distribuídos no Brasil, em países de fala portuguesa, e exportados para outros 105 países. Nesse período, o mercado de bíblias se tornou crescentemente competitivo e diversificado. As editoras especializadas em bíblias passaram a usar as ferramentas do marketing no tratamento de seu principal e único produto - a Bíblia - submetendo-o às leis do mercado e as necessidades e demandas dos seus consumidores."
