AHRB Greek Bible Project
From their site:
This project, directed by Dr Tessa Rajak and Dr Sarah Pearce, with Dr James Aitken as Post-Doctoral Research Fellow and Dr Jenny Dines as Research Associate, will provide a re-evaluation of the Greek Bible as a source for Jews' interpretation of the political, social and intellectual culture of their hellenistic world (defined as continuing into the period of the early Roman Empire).
It's based at Reading University. There is some material of interest (but no link to the NT Gateway -- what?!) and a trial run for the following:
The Database of Septuagint Greek
This looks like it will be a really valuable resource in time. It's described as "A database of political legal and administrative words in the LXX and contemporary literature". I am particularly encouraged to see major projects like this having a strong web presence -- it would be excellent if the results are all disseminated via the web. At the moment the web design of the database wants a bit of work -- you have to go to 1024x768 to view it properly, a bit like the old SBL site prior to the revamp. And there is a lot of scrolling down to do in Netscape 7. And they need to switch their spellchecker on. But these are minor gripes -- I look forward to seeing this develop.
