Requirements for Participation

John, Jesus, and History


Program Unit Type: Group
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The John, Jesus, and History Group will host one open session at the 2008 meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature. Proposals should develop glimpses of the historical Jesus through the lens of the Johannine Passion Narrative, including discussion of the arrest, trials (Jewish and Roman), and death of Jesus. Topics of interest to the group that fall outside the scope of these issues may also be considered as long as they deal centrally with some aspect of John, Jesus, and history issues. Papers may reflect a variety of methodological perspectives, including those that compare/contrast John’s account to those in other ancient sources. Preference will be given to proposals that interact directly with questions of John's historicity (either in favor of John's historicity or against John's presentation) arguing critically why one's thesis is tenable. Please include a detailed abstract.
