Abstract

Although focusing on biblical studies, this book is of great value to any social scientist interested in computer-assisted content analysis and text processing. Coverage treats word processing, word concordance programs, online communications series, archaeological programs, and machine-readable text archives. The book is of particular relevance to scholars working with foreign-language texts. It is composed primarily of resource listings and technical discussions of text processing and is not intended to be a work illustrating the hows or whys of text analysis.
