Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We are inviting proposals for papers on two special topics as well as for an open session. The first special session, which will include some invited speakers also, is entitled Challenging Modern Scholarly Categories. We would like this session to address the question to what extent modern scholarly categories (such as biblical/non-biblical and sectarian/non-sectarian) have exercised undue influence on the way scholars have read new and old primary texts. The second special session, which will also include some invited speakers, is entitled The Relationship of the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Literature, History, Social Structures, and Religious Thought of Early Christianity. It is planned to hold this session in honor of Prof. Joseph A. Fitzmyer, one of the pioneers in this field. The Open Session will be devoted to any aspect of the study the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran including studies of texts, material culture, history, literature, or recent advances in the field.
