Bible and Visual Art


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For an open session, we invite proposals that fall within our broad purpose: to explore historical, hermeneutical, theological, iconographic, and/or theoretical aspects related to the interpretation of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures in visual art through the centuries. For a session jointly sponsored with the Synoptic Gospels Section and the Bible and Film Consultation, we invite presentations on "Using Visual Media in Teaching the Synoptic Gospels"; media may range from manuscript illumination to painting to sculpture to movies. For a session jointly sponsored with the Ideology, Culture, and Translation Group, we invite responses to the recently-published Bible Illuminated (2008); papers may engage this fascinating and highly provocative publication in terms of its technical production, visual interpretation, translational technique, cultural representation, effect on the reader-viewer, or any other aspect relevant to the concerns of critical theory. Additional information and a sample chapter are available at http://illuminatedworld.com or http://new.bibleilluminated.com.
