Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Three Proposed Sessions: 1. Session one: “Approaches to the Parables”. This session will engage an updated conversation across current disciplinary approaches about how to read and interpret parables, including historical-critical approaches, literary approaches, and post-modern and ideological approaches. This is primarily a session by invitation, but the steering committee is open to innovative proposals that deal with the theory of reading parables. 2. Session two: “Reading Gospels for Character Formation.” This session will to ask how the gospels may be used, or are being used, as either models for or mechanisms of character formation. What is at stake, then, is the product of the gospel reading act – seen as an effect on readers. This is primarily a session by invitation, but the steering committee is open to innovative proposals that deal with the intersection of reading gospels and character formation. 3. Session three: An open session on any issue relevant to the study of the synoptic gospels, a theme found in the synoptics, or an exegetic issue concerning one or more synoptic gospels.
