Timothy Beal (Department of Religious Studies)
Freedman Faculty Fellow 2017–2018
Timothy Beal, the Florence Harkness Professor of Religion and chair of the Department of Religious Studies, is interested in changing the way we consume biblical translations in a post-print media world. He argues that traditional translations cannot explore the rich ambiguities and inconclusive nature of literary texts. Using Python, a programming language, Beal is developing a program that will take text from the Hebrew Book of Genesis and find new ways to explore various translations.
