Whence and Whither?: Methodology and the Future of Biblical Studies


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For one session we solicit paper proposals that address methodological questions related to women and the Early-Christian apocrypha. We are especially interested in papers that deal with (one of) the following topics: 1. the relationship between canonical and apocryphal writings and possible reasons for their inclusion/exclusion from the canon; 2. definitions of orthodoxy and heresy, including their constructed character; 3. the cliché that apocryphal writings and heretical movements are more women-friendly and inclusive than canonical and orthodox ones; 4. the possible construction of a social history 'behind' the text, e.g. how female figures in the heavenly realm relate to real women in the communities. A second session will have invited papers only.
