Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: (1) We invite proposals for one open session on any topic related to the Pentateuch / Torah, consistent with our usual focus on transmission-historical issues or the linkage of that area of inquiry with other methodologies. (2) We also invite papers for one session concerning the book of Numbers. Any and all methodological approaches are welcome, but especially welcome are transmission-historical papers. (3) In recognition of being in Amsterdam this year, we wish to invite papers for another session on the topic “Early Critical Biblical Scholarship on the Pentateuch: From Spinoza to Welhausen.” Historically oriented papers on the early Dutch and German critical Pentateuchal scholars, beginning with Spinoza, and/or their methods and results are acceptable. In addition, papers either employing or critiquing these early critical methodologies and/or results are acceptable. (4) We also invite papers involving feminist or gendered perspectives on the Pentateuch, esp. the Pentateuch legal materials, for yet another session.
