Thesis Topic: 
Semantico-Prosographical Connections in Profane Names in the Hebrew Bible
Research Summary: 
My thesis will examine the names of the people referred to in the Hebrew Bible and will seek to identify and analyse patterns in the apparent semantic content of those names. Of particular interest to me are case where the semantics of a name can be shown to be related to the circumstances of its bearer. Names from the Near East more broadly are also considered.
