Call For Papers: The Pseudepigrapha Section will have four sessions in Baltimore. The first session of the Pseudepigrapha Section will be an open session entitled “Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things.” Inspired by the title of George Lakoff’s classic work on cognitive categories, we invite papers that deal with imaginations, uses and functions in pseudepigraphical texts of women and women as cognitive categories, metaphors, or rhetorical devices. The second session will be a closed, invited review session of the new volume Old Testament Pseudepigrapha: More Noncanonical Scriptures. Volume One (Eerdmans), edited by Richard Bauckham, James R. Davila, and Alexander Panayotov. The third session will be a closed session, jointly organized with the Daniel Section, on the book of Daniel and the Pseudepigrapha. The fourth session will also be a closed, invited session, jointly organized with the Qumran Section, and titled “Jubilees: Authorship, Composition, and the Manuscript Tradition.”
