This unit, titled Disability Studies and Healthcare in
the Bible and
Near East until 2011, seeks to foster scholarship related
to disability,
illness, medicine, and healthcare in the biblical world
and text. Major
areas of interest include: the religious, legal, and
cultural status of
persons with disabilities or illness in the biblical and
formative
Jewish and Christian periods; the representation of
disability and
illness in biblical and cognate texts; the theology of
such texts; the
history and archeology of medicine and healthcare in the
ancient Near
East and Greco-Roman worlds; and the subjects of
disability, illness,
medicine and healthcare in the history of biblical
interpretation.
