Outline of Final Research Achievements	Through this research, we have shared the common problem of 'biases' in researching classical 'sacred books/scriptures' and have elucidated how they have prevented from objective research of such literary works. Further, we have reported new literary methods and theories to break away from such biases, through discussions of the effectiveness and limits of which each research member could broaden one's own horizon and develop their research considerably.
Free Research Field	聖書学
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	他分野の手法を積極的に取り入れる学際的研究によって、研究内容の専門化・細分化が進み、それぞれが「殻」に閉じこもって研究を行っている状況が続く古典文学研究を活性化し得る研究成果を得られた。また、それぞれの研究に活かすことのできる横断的研究ネットワークを形成することにより、古典文学研究分野に漂う閉塞感を打開し、新たな学際的研究の可能性を拓くモデルを学界全体に提示することができた。
