Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Allusions in the Gospels unit anticipates three sessions and one special reception for the meeting in Seoul. (1) The first session will be co-hosted with the Families and Children in the Ancient World unit, and will include both invited papers and an open call. We welcome papers that address (a) how representations of marriage, childbirth, childhood, and family in the Gospels draw upon, reflect, alter, and/or undermine constructions of marriage, childbirth, childhood, and family in the literature of the Hebrew Bible, of late ancient Judaism, and of the Greco-Roman world, and (b) how such intertextual connections function in a context of imperial domination. (2) The second session is open for all paper proposals related to echoes and fragments of previous texts in the Gospels. (3) The third session will feature an invited panel reviewing Dennis R. MacDonald’s forthcoming book “John and Euripides: The Dionysian Gospel.” The panel includes Dennis MacDonald, Mark G. Bilby, Jayhoon Yang, Richard Miller, and Chan Sok Park. (4) Allusions in the Gospels Reception invites the participants in the program sessions and their friends and colleagues from all streams and countries. We will meet for a social dinner at the LG Convention Hall in Ewha Womans University on Wednesday July 6th from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The reception is sponsored by the Steering Committee that comprises New Testament scholars of Ewha Womans University, Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary, Chongshin University, Claremont Graduate University and School of Theology, and Seoul Theological University. To place a reservation for dinner, please email Wooil Moon (woeil@naver.com) by June 26, 2016.
