Call For Papers: Biblical Matriarchs: "Arose, arose a mother in Israel"

The Biblical Characters in the Three Traditions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) Seminar will organize four sessions of invited papers. This seminar aims to discuss the many women in the scriptures, many of whom are named and their activities characterized along side the men in the stories. Some of them are unnamed and their activities are mentioned secondarily to the main events. We accept the notion that women are the pillar of society: "She openeth her mouth with wisdom and her tongue is the law of kindness"(Prov. 31:26). The purpose of this seminar is to let biblical scholars and scholars of cognate fields to present their arguments and ideas and to challenge the audience with new interpretations.
