Requirements for Participation

Ideological Criticism


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Ideological Criticism Section seeks proposals for paper presentations for two sessions. The first session is on "Marxism and the Bible: Retrospect and Prospect". Papers are solicited for this session that deal with the various ways Marxism has been or could be applied to the Biblical text. Papers may be historical (either of the discipline or of the text), theoretical or exegetical in nature. Our second session will be titled "Ideology and the Bible in the Year 1 A.B. (After Barack)". Papers for this session are requested that deal with the various ways politics, ideology and the Bible have interacted since the election of Barack Obama. Papers may deal with particular issues (health care, the wars, climate change, etc) or may address rhetorical and cultural changes (or the lack thereof). The Ideological Criticism Section particularly encourages the submission of papers from historically underrepresented groups at the SBL.
