Requirements for Participation

Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The special theme for 2012, the 60th anniversary of the discovery of Cave 4, is the nature of “the library” at Qumran. The overarching question we wish to consider is whether or not the documents from the different caves make up a library of a particular group or another type of collection. We are seeking papers that address questions on the character of the collection of texts, particularly concerning diversity and homogeneity, intentionality, origins, and ideology. The session will be a mix of invited speakers and other participants. We will also have an open session for which we welcome proposals on a variety of topics related to the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran.
