Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We invite proposals for two open sessions on any aspect of biblical law (including cuneiform documents, Dead Sea Scrolls and other Second Temple Literature, questions of pentateuchal criticism, legal history, gender analysis, social scientific, and newer methodologies). Papers for both sessions will be read in part or in whole. Copies of papers are distributed in advance of the meeting through the Section's website. They should be available by October 15, 2008 at: www.biblicallaw.net. The Biblical Law section and the Rhetoric in the New Testament section of the SBL will also co-sponsor one or two sessions of invited and proposed papers on “The Rhetorical Use of Biblical Law in New Testament and Related Early Christian Texts.” This collaboration will focus on legal texts and traditions from the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint, or other Second Temple Jewish texts as they are understood and used in and for argumentation in the literary, rhetorical, historical, and theological context of the texts studied.
