The role of biblical studies increasingly is becoming an important conversation partner in those scholarly inquiries. The impact of biblical studies stretches well beyond Hebrew Bible and New Testament, reaching into the disciplines and fields of ethics, theology, womanism, religious studies, and beyond. And the contributions on Hebrew scholar Randell C. Bailey sits at the nexus for such interdisciplinary work.
