Requirements for Participation

Theology of the Hebrew Scriptures


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Theology of Hebrew Scriptures section will be running three sessions in 2009. We invite papers to an open session of Theology of Hebrew Scriptures. This session will give participants the opportunity to share new work of a distinctively theological nature on the Hebrew Scriptures. The second session will be the second of a 3 year series of conversations between Christian and Jewish biblical theologians on a pre-set selection of theological themes and topics. In 2009 we will have an invited panel that will help us consider how our respective communities understand the theme of "Torah" that may include questions such as the role of law, commandment and ethics. Participants for this session are by invitation only. A third session will be a panel review of Marvin Sweeney's book, Reading the Hebrew Bible after the Shoah: Engaging Holocaust Theology (Fortress 2008). Questions about these sessions should be addressed to either Juliana Claassens or Esther Hamori.
