Biblical Narrative as Ethics: The Limits of Exemplarity in Ancient Jewish Literature
This paper considers whether biblical narrative was used as part of a technology of the self in Jewish antiquity. Many have seen the assumption that Israel’s ancestors were perfect and, hence, worthy of imitation as essential to the Bible’s identity as Scripture around the turn of the Common Era. Recently several scholars have detailed the specific dynamics of exemplarity among certain readers of the Bible, such as Philo, particularly in light of…
How the “Torah of Moses” Became Revelation
Noting that, in the Hebrew Bible, law, but not narrative, is attributed to Moses, this paper argues that the notion of the “Torah of Moses” as revealed literature, word for word dictation to Moses, is to be traced to a late Second Temple construction of the Pentateuch as apocalypse. The move is evident in the Book of Jubilees, who introduces his work with a detailed account of revelation at Sinai that includes his own work, the “Divisions of the …

The counter-revolutionary Atlantic: White West Indian petitions and proslavery networks
Following recent research into imperial networks and their materialities, this paper addresses the geographies of the early-modern Atlantic. Its focus is the defensive response of white West Indian colonists to the emergence of popular antislavery sentiment in Britain during the ‘age of abolition’ (c. 1780–1833), which led to the increasing marginalization of slave-holding interests. This response included the production of corporate legislative …
Fasting as a Penitential Rite: A Biblical Phenomenon
In the opening decades of the twentieth century, several ethnologists became interested in the phenomenon of fasting. They found, in the words of one study, that “the custom of fasting is wide-spread among peoples at very different stages of civilization, and is practiced for a variety of purposes.” The impulse to order such multifarious data led later scholars to construct systems of classification. One such attempt describes the motivations for…
John Pope Hennessy and the Translation of 'Slavery' between late nineteenth-century Barbados and Hong Kong
This paper uses the experiences of Sir John Pope Hennessy (1834‐91) as Governor of Barbados (1875‐76) and Hong Kong (1877‐82) to investigate the political geography of British imperial government in the later nineteenth century. Pope Hennessy's postings brought him into conflict with successive white settler elites, as he attempted to forward both colonial policy and his own humanitarian and political concerns. Two consecutive episodes demonstrat…
Geography and Moral Education in a Super complex World: The Significance of Values Education and Some Remaining Dilemmas
This paper argues that geography has a prominent, though at present underdeveloped, role to play in the moral education of young people. The need for geography teachers at all levels to engage students effectively with matters, themes and issues associated with ‘supercomplex’ environmental processes of various kinds, in a global context, requires the application of morally careful teaching. This is the case with respect to both the way selected c…
