Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Session 1: We invite papers that relate specific film theories or theorists to biblical studies of film. Session 2: We invite papers that fall within our broad purpose: The critical analysis and interpretation of Bible/Jesus films and other films incorporating biblical themes or motifs in terms of the films’ biblical and extra-biblical content, cultural and historical significance, and ideology. These papers can be forty-minute presentations, where up to 15 minutes can be used to accommodate the showing of longer, illustrative film clips. Please be as explicit as you can in describing what films you will use and the lengths of the film clips. If you are proposing a paper that deals with pedagogical issues related to Bible and film, we suggest you send the proposal to our jointly sponsored session listed under the Synoptic Gospels Section "Using Visual Media in Teaching the Synoptic Gospels."
