Accepting Papers? No

Call For Papers: AABHS, in conjunction with CUREMP, is accepting papers from divinity and Ph.D. students. These papers must be a complete draft in order to be considered. The goal is to encourage young scholars to present in a professional setting. 2) AABHS, with Exile (Forced Migrations) in Biblical Literature Consultation, invites participants to scholarly consideration on the theme of Internal displacement, exile, and refugee status, titled "Exile and Repatriation: From Judah to New Orleans. Displaced peoples' Longings for Home and Strivings to Return," considering our location in New Orleans and ongoing issues from the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma in 2005. 3) We also issue an open invitation for any papers that address the objectives of this unit, i.e. to engage in interdisciplinary and holistic study of the Bible and its place in a multi-faceted and complex African American cultural worldview.
