A Guide to Semitic and Christian Oriental Resources
This page is designed to help you find Internet resources related to the Ancient and Christian Near East, including resources for Biblical Studies, Muslim-Christian Relations, Classics, Linguistics, and Orientalist Librarianship. The page reflects the subject interests of the Semitics/ICOR Library (http://libraries.cua.edu/semitics/index.html) and the Department of Semitic & Egyptian Languages & Literatures (http://semitics.cua.edu/). It serves as a starting point--a guide to selected resources--rather than a comprehensive list.
