Requirements for Participation

Israelite Prophetic Literature


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? No

Call For Papers: We invite proposals for three sessions: Session 1. Sites of memory in the prophetic books—The ancient and contemporary readers of the prophetic books imagine and visit living spaces populated with people and a deity acting in diverse ways and set in particular times. These living sites serve as sites of memory for the readers and interact with other memories and sites that exist in the mind of the same readers. As they do so, they may be informing, balancing, reshaping, sharpening, downplaying, or even contributing to a forgetfulness of other sites and memories. This session invites papers that discuss these issues. Session 2. Divine Days in and outside prophetic literature: The Day of YHWH has become a central concept for many working within the Book of the Twelve, including but not limited to redactional-critical scholars. This session invites papers on the concept of the Day of YHWH and related days in and outside prophetic literature. Session 3. Open Session—Papers on any aspect of the study of Israelite prophecy and prophetic literature.
