Concepts of Leadership in the Hebrew Bible (EABS)

Call For Papers: "At its second meeting in Berlin the research group will host a session of invited speakers on the topic “Concepts of Leadership in Prophetic Literature” with a special emphasis on the books of Jeremiah, Haggai and Zechariah. The focus will be on the question of how the depiction and characterization of human leadership evolves during the early post-exilic time. Based on the results of the first meeting the session(s) aim at outlining continuities and discontinuities in the conceptualization of leadership: How consistently were the ideas of leadership available before the exile been followed in early post-exilic times? To which degree and how have they been adapted? How have they been integrated into emerging theological concepts? etc. The session of invited speakers will be complimented by an open session. Papers in English dealing with the years’ guiding theme or any other aspect related to the intersection between biblical and historical “authorities” in prophetic literature or connected methodological challenges are cordially invited. In addition to diachronic approaches the research group appreciates papers from multiple (synchronic) perspectives (e. g. from literary studies, sociology, cultural studies) and papers with synchronic as well as diachronic perspectives."
