Requirements for Participation

Theological Interpretation of Scripture


Program Unit Type: Group
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For 2010, the Group has planned two sessions: (1) Reading Isaiah as Christian Scripture. We invite papers that seek to read particular texts in Isaiah as Christian Scripture. Preference will be given to papers that engage Isaianic texts other than those that typically invite christological exegesis (i.e., papers on texts other than, e.g., Isa 7, 9, 53). (2) History, Historicisms, and Theological Interpretation. Contemporary interest in theological interpretation of the Bible has had an uneasy relationship with historical-critical approaches to the biblical materials. Some historians and theologians urge that the two cannot coexist, while others find historical commitments inherent to theological exegesis. Still others argue that “history” must be reconceived theologically. In theological interpretation of Scripture, what is the role of history and historical inquiry? Papers for this session have already been invited. Information about the Group is maintained at http://sites.google.com/site/theologicalinterpretation/SBLGroup. Persons interested in announcements regarding the work of the Group, or with ideas for future sessions should contact the program unit chair, Joel Green (jbgreen@fuller.edu).
