Hungarian Scholarship (1990s)

Overview

The 1990s was the decade of renaissance of Hungarian humanities and theology after the clash of the communist dictature. A good number of Theological Colleges and Academies have been reestablished, and new educational and research bodies have been founded. Much of these institutions - after creating the institutional and material conditions for scientific work - immediately started to organise various kinds of media for publishing scholarly achievements, and tempted to make up leeway of more than a half a century timespan.

In 1998, Studia Biblica Athanasiana (1998-), journal was founded, which, until now, is the leading Hungarian scientific journal for Biblical and Cognate Studies, and several important textbooks and translations were published in the fields of Introductions to the Bible. At the end of the century, Ida Fröhlich published the first nearly complete Hungarian translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Two important monographs from Hungarian scholars were published internationally in the decade, Ida Fröhlich's volume on early Jewish apocalypticism, and József Zsengellér's dissertation on the Samaritans.
