Semeia Journal
Semeia, an experimental journal devoted to the exploration of new and emergent areas and methods of biblical criticism, was published from 1974 through 2002. Each issue was devoted to a particular theme, and articles explored the methods, models, and findings of linguistics, folklore studies, contemporary literary criticism, structuralism, social anthropology, and other such disciplines. Even after the journal ceased publication in 2002, the associated book series Semeia Studies carried on the Semeia tradition by continuing to publish monographs and collections of essays that represent the best of interdisciplinary biblical studies.
 
In addition to the individual print issues available for purchase below, the complete run of Semeia can also be purchased in electronic form from Logos Bible Software and Accordance Bible Software.
