Requirements for Participation

Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The section solicits papers on all aspects of textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible for two (or more) open sessions. We are particularly interested in: (1) papers that might revisit, in the light of developments in textual criticism since Qumran, the theological significance of textual criticism--not simply with regard to specific variants but also (or rather) to the enterprise as a whole; and (2) papers that would consider the importance of variant traditions/manuscripts in and for their own right--that is, without primary reference to or interest in their stemmatic relationships to a possible original or Urtext (cf., e.g., B. Cerquiglilni, In Praise of the Variant [Johns Hopkins, 1999]). Related to the second category is a third, (3) study of "texts" vs. the study of specific manuscripts/codices and what difference that makes to the endeavor of textual criticism. If a sufficient number of proposals are geared toward these topics, the section will likely have a theme-based session (or two) as well as an open session. It is possible that some papers might be invited on these themes.
