Call For Papers: CONTEXTUAL BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION GROUP CALL FOR PAPERS 2009 In line with the goal of this group and of its book series Texts@Contexts (Fortress Press; volumes on Genesis and The Gospel of Mark, forthcoming, 2009), we seek papers on *contextual* biblical interpretations; i.e., readings of the Bible that take the reader’s context into account in some way. Particularly (but not exclusively) we are interested in contextual readings of the books of the Pentateuch/Torah; the Gospels. These papers need to make explicit their "contextual" strategies (including inculturation, inter(con)textualization, and reading with “ordinary” readers) and methodologies. For general format see http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AnS/religious_studies/GBC/outline_comm.html Steering committee: Daniel Patte Athalya Brenner Archie Lee Nicole Duran Teresa Okure
