Trends in Hebrew Bible Scholarship
The contrast between ‘Hebrew Bible’ and ‘Old Testament’ as alternative ways of naming the collection of ancient Jewish writings accepted by both Jews and Christians as authoritative scripture can be seen as a shorthand signal of diametrically opposed attitudes to their interpretation. On the one hand there are many newer approaches that situate these books in the social and historical context of the ancient world and bracket out their traditional…
Possibilities of the Interval
From 1976, the works of the Venetian composer Luigi Nono (1924–90) are marked by a noticeable change in both his philosophical and his political outlook. What results is a decade (1980–9) of compositions that feature poetry in librettos, live electronics, the spatialization of sound and a prominent use of microtonal pitches. Together these create completely novel soundscapes that are noticeably different from his previous output. This article wil…
Comparison of Machine Learning Techniques for Mortality Prediction in a Prospective Cohort of Older Adults
As global demographics change, ageing is a global phenomenon which is increasingly of interest in our modern and rapidly changing society. Thus, the application of proper prognostic indices in clinical decisions regarding mortality prediction has assumed a significant importance for personalized risk management (i.e., identifying patients who are at high or low risk of death) and to help ensure effective healthcare services to patients. Consequen…
The Value of Biblical Criticism
Biblical criticism is the application to the biblical text of critical enquiry such as can be applied to any other text, and especially to obscure or puzzling ones. This is illustrated through a short analysis of some of the background and context of William Blake’s ‘Jerusalem’, and the same questions are then put to 1 Corinthians 13. In both cases it is shown that we understand the text better by attending to its original context, its genre and …

The study of religion is essential to understanding the human experience, from the ancient origins of spirituality and practice to the modern age, when secularization and technological advancements have complicated the role of religion. In the 21st century, the world’s religions are interacting as they never have before, often in surprising ways that yield new understandings and, in some cases, entirely new traditions and identities. Moreover, th…

Iterability and the Order-Word Plateau
This paper offers a comparative analysis of the uses and formulations of speech-act theory in Derrida's and Deleuze/Guattari's work. It begins by juxtaposing Derrida's concept/nonconcept of ‘iterability’ to Deleuze and Guattari's conception of the ‘order-word’ and then examines these theories of the speech act in terms of their implications and consequences for a politics of resistance. Whereas Deleuze and Guattari generate a detailed material st…
