1. Introduction: Historicizing the Master Archive -- 2. Mastering Biblical History in the British Museum -- 3. Books and Bodies in the British Museum Reading Room -- 4. The Biblical Critic as Collector -- 5. Biblical Scholar as Imperial State Agent -- 6. Epilogue: Contextualizing a Museum of the Bible.

Since the modern period, the field of biblical studies has relied upon libraries, museums, and archives for its evidentiary and credentialing needs. Yet, absent in biblical scholarship is a thorough and critical examination of the instrumentality of the discipline's master archives for elite power structures. Addressing this gap in biblical scholarship lies central to this book. Interrogated here is a premier repository or master archive of the discipline: the British Museum. Using an assemblage of critical theories from archival discourse to postcolonial studies, space theory to governmentality studies, the focal point of this book is at the intersections of the Museum's rise to scientific prominence, the British Empire, and the conferring of scientific authority to modern biblical critics in the nineteenth century. Gregory L. Cuellar initiates a season of historicization of the master archives of biblical studies and archival criticism.
