Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOliver Glanz is an interdisciplinary scholar and digital humanities researcher with nine years of experience applying computational methods to the Hebrew Bible, currently serving as AUSS co-editor and Associate Professor of Old Testament. He leads and contributes to large-scale projects (Data and Tradition, SHEBANQ) that combine corpus linguistics, valence analysis, and participant tracking to bridge traditional exegesis with machine-assisted text analysis. Trained to PhD level in Biblical Hebrew, hermeneutics and computer science, he has helped formalize the ETCBC database for CLARIN and translate linguistic categories into ISO standards, enabling durable, interoperable research infrastructure. His work on text-syntactical analysis of Jeremiah was integrated into the Stuttgart Electronic Study Bible, illustrating a rare blend of deep philological expertise and practical data curation. Based in the Randstad, he routinely translates technical tooling into accessible web applications for scholars and has published pedagogical and theological materials outside academia. Colleagues value him for bringing rigorous computational workflows to longstanding hermeneutical debates, making traditional texts more queryable and reproducible.
