Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We will have one open session at the 2010 Annual meeting and are open to proposals on any topic related to the overall focus of the group. Slight preference may be given to proposals that link with our focus in 2010 on interrogating the idea that some sort of "scripturalization" occurred in the Second Temple period. In a session of invited papers and (perhaps) additional papers in the open section of 2010, we aim to explore what we mean when we talk about "scripturalization," what change it implies in the relationship of written traditions to oral traditions, and what was the relationship of scripturalization to the fixing of texts and to the process of canonization? In addition, we are interested in other periods that have been proposed as key moments of scripturalization (e.g. the Neo-Assyrian period).
