Requirements for Participation

Expressions of Religion in Israel


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The research unit “Expressions of Religion in Israel“ invites papers to be offered on the broad issue of “Exclusive Yahwism and Its Alternatives”. Under this heading, various methodological approaches as well as divergent material to be investigated in particular will be welcome. As such, we encourage papers on ancestor worship/memorial ritual, necromancy, afterlife, popular syncretism (e.g. pagan deities, "high places"), divination and prophecy. We are interested in a wide range of different forms of religious practices as they are perceived either in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible or in contextual material of the ancient world in literacy as well as in material culture. If your paper will predominantly focus on the Persian Period this would be quite welcome though it is no precondition.
