1995-2002:

Bibliographical documentation

This project on bibliographical documentation of critical Old Testament studies in Africa started quite widely (cf. the 1996 study), but gradually it turned in the more narrow direction of an analysis of the doctoral dissertations of the first generation of African Old Testament scholars (cf. the 2002 study). The project was funded by the School of Mission and Theology (Stavanger), the Nansen Foundation and Affiliated Funds (Oslo), the Non-fiction Literature Fund (Oslo), and the Norwegian Research Council (Oslo).
