Thomas/Twin in the Fourth Gospel and the Gospel of Thomas
This study examines the Thomas/twin motif in the Gospels of John and Thomas, which plays a significant role in each. By analyzing the motif's meaning, deployment, and development in the two Gospels against Mesopotamian models, this study brings a fresh perspective to the much-debated topic of the Gospel of Thomas's place of origin. This study demonstrates that Thomas betrays a knowledge of cuneiform polyvalence and argues that this corroborates t…
Fluid Boundaries and Conflicted Meaning in the Book of Joshua
This study contends that Joshua in its present form is a layered text in which literary tensions are created and sustained by blurring boundaries of meaning. Joshua’s investigation of boundaries of different kinds is a hermeneutical key to the work. This rhetorical approach mirrors its subject, the tribes’ relationship to the land and its frontiers. A territory intended for subdivision whose border is being crossed requires a focus on frontiers. …
Narrative Disjunction, Artful Occlusion, and Cryptic Commentary in Joshua 1–12
The book of Joshua is a book-length crux interpretum. Its cultivation of two concurrent narratives that contradict one another has fascinated commentators since antiquity. This is only one of its hermeneutically challenging features. Most modern commentaries attribute these features to an uneven process of redaction. Focusing on chapters 1–12, this essay argues that incongruity, ambiguity, and disjunction are essential elements of a rhetorical st…

Adapting to Context in Community‐Based Participatory Research
Community‐based participatory research (CBPR) is increasingly being used to better understand and improve the health of diverse communities. A key strength of this research orientation is its adaptability to community contexts and characteristics. To date, however, few studies explicitly discuss adaptations made to CBPR principles and processes in response to community context and partners’ needs. Using data from our CBPR study, the San Francisco…
An Interactive Computer Video Game for the Design Museum
The author discusses the Design Museum in London, which addresses the limitations of static museum displays. This new museum’s designers began with the premise that objects on plinths merely encourage aimless browsing, and thus they set about creating an environment that instead actively involves participants. His discussion follows the process of determining the museum’s format, part of which includes a computer game that recreates the design pr…
