My research focuses on the cultures giving rise to the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh/Old Testament). In particular, I’m interested in the ‘ religious realities of these cultures – what people believed ‘ about the gods and other divine beings and how they expressed their beliefs through rituals, myths and social practice.

    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Exeter Unit of Assessment: Theology and Religious Studies Title of case study: Biblical texts and archaeology: research that challenges and informs religious and political beliefs 1. Summary of the impact Research carried out at the University of Exeter into the ancient religious traditions reflected in biblical texts has been at the centre of two major TV documentary series. Advised and, for one series, written and presented by the main researcher, Francesca Stavrakopoulou, the documentaries contributed to the content and delivery of public broadcasting and greatly extended public understanding of the evidence concerning foundational aspects of the Jewish and Christian faiths. These documentaries, each episode of which was seen by over 1.5 million viewers, became the subject of intense public debate, generating much discussion and response in both national and international media. Stavrakopoulou, dubbed “the BBC’s new face of religion” by the Telegraph, also communicated the research in numerous other broadcasts and public events. 2. Underpinning research Certain figures and stories from the Hebrew Bible – such as Abraham or King David, or the story of the Garden of Eden – are familiar to most people, yet their historical and cultural contexts are still being explored and only just beginning to enter public consciousness. Biblical history, too easily dismissed as marginal in a secular age, remains highly pertinent to modern convictions and conflicts, as these biblical stories are central to both the Jewish and Christian faiths, and highly relevant to present-day territorial disputes in the region popularly known as the Holy Land. It is on this aspect of ancient history and religious practices that Francesca Stavrakopoulou, Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Religion in the Department of Theology and Religion, has focused much of her research.

  • Placing and Displacing the Dead in the Book of Kings
    Placing and Displacing the Dead in the Book of Kings Francesca Stavrakopoulou University of Exeter Society of Biblical Literature San Diego, November 2007 Graves function as much for the living as they do for the dead. For the dead, graves might be understood as an unchanging, perpetual and specialised place of dwelling, or a transformative space in which one might enter into a new form of existence. 1 For the living, graves serve not only to hold the remains of the deceased, or to memorialise the existence of an individual but—significantly—a grave or collection of graves might also serve to mark the boundary of a given place or to signal possession or ownership of a territory.2 The interrelation of graves and boundaries is closely tied to the veneration of ancestors. Within ancient Near Eastern ancestor cults, perceptions of the continued existence of the dead were bound up with the family household; simply put, death did not break these domestic relationships, it merely altered the nature of family members’ interaction with one another. The ancestors played an important dual role within the lives of their descendants: they bore some responsibility for the fertility and perpetuation of the family line, and they acted as guardians and guarantors of hereditary property and places, including the land upon which most Near Eastern families lived, worked, died and were buried. 3 Ancestral tombs thus functioned as physical markers of the continued existence and permanent presence of the dead. 1 For anthropological discussions of death and burial, see, for example, P. Metcalf and R.

  • Pagan Roots of the Hebrew Old Testament (Winchester: Moon Books, 2012), 128 Pp., $16.95 (Paper- Back)
    [The Pomegranate 14.2 (2012) 321-324] ISSN 1528-0268 (print) doi: 10.1558/pome.v14i2.324 ISSN 1743-1735 (online) Philip West, The Old Ones in the Old Book: Pagan Roots of the Hebrew Old Testament (Winchester: Moon Books, 2012), 128 pp., $16.95 (paper- back). In spite of its title, this book has nothing to do with H. P. Love- craft’s horror mythos. West’s work is an examination of what the author dubs the “Pagan” elements in the Hebrew Bible. His work attempts to show how early Judaism as presented in the Old Tes- tament is (contrary to most people’s expectations) polytheistic. As West describes the texts of the Hebrew Bible, “Most non-Jews and non-Christians, including most pagans, simply assume that it has nothing useful to teach them. This book aims to change that atti- tude by using the sacred Hebrew texts to expose the fascinating world of ancient Israelite religion, a religion much closer to polythe- istic paganism than the official lines from Christianity and Judaism would have us believe.” (6) The book’s intended audience is one that is Pagan, unfamiliar with the biblical texts, and who is not especially academic in background (on page 10 West explains what an endnote is, and how to use one). The book is arranged following the organization of the Hebrew Bible, and in particular the Tanakh version (5). The book begins with a general introduction to “what is the Old Testament” and what are some of the issues involved in its study. For example, West addresses who wrote it, when, and the issue of more or less accu- rate translations.

    Sabbath and the Common Good An Anglican response to the environmental crisis A thesis submitted to Charles Sturt University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by George Victor Browning ThL (Hons.), BTh (Hons.), DLitt (honoris causa) November 2014 Certificate of Authorship I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at Charles Sturt University or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by colleagues with whom I have worked at Charles Sturt University or elsewhere during my candidature is acknowledged. I agree that this thesis be accessible for the purpose of study and research in accordance with the normal conditions established by the Executive Director, Library Services or nominee, for the care, loan and reproduction of theses. George Victor Browning Acknowledgements I am grateful for the many sources of inspiration that have contributed to the genesis of this thesis. Having grown up on the land and having commenced my working life in this context I am intuitively aware that the health of the land and the health of humanity are inextricably bound together. I am in debt to the international Anglican Communion for appointing me the initial convenor of its Environmental Network (2005 – 2009). Through this appointment I have been privileged to meet inspiring leaders across the globe and to witness first hand the already devastating consequences of environmental change, especially in some of the poorest places on earth.
