Call For Papers: The National Association of Professors of Hebrew (NAPH)is sponsoring six sessions. Session One, Annual Meeting of Officers and Members. Session Two, Theme, “Jews on Jesus: Con-Visions of the Other” For all the myriad views of Jesus there is pretty close consensus that he lived and died a faithful Jew. Nonetheless, recent Jewish explorations on the Jewish Jesus have present challenges for observant Jews and Christian believers. We invite papers that explore the ramifications of Jesus in Second Temple Judaism and Jewish life today (self) and Jesus the Jew hitherto marginal now seen as central in New Testament and Christian heritage (other).Session Three, Book Discussion, Marvin A. Sweeney, Tanak: A Theological and Critical Introduction to the Jewish Bible (Fortress Press, 2012).Session is cosponsored with SBL Theology of the Hebrew Scriptures Section. Session Four,Theme, “Hebrew Online.” The Methodology Session of NAPH invites papers and presentations on the theory and practice of teaching and learning biblical Hebrew online (elementary, intermediate and exegesis courses). We will consider both hybrid and one hundred percent online formats. Session Five,Theme, “Translated TaNaKh: The Nature and Nomenclature of Its Authority.” Although biblical translations are not intended to take the place of the Hebrew Bible itself in Jewish tradition, this does not mean that translations are not authoritative in at least some contexts. Papers in this session will explore the historical, cultural, and religious boundaries of such authority from a theoretical/theological perspective or on the basis of specific examples. Session Six, Theme,"Subtle Citation, Allusion, and Translation in the Hebrew Bible: Evidence, Evaluation, and Implications." Papers will focus on not-so-obvious, unrecognized cases of citation and allusion and on translations from other languages, clarifying the methodological considerations on which their status as real can be established and their implications.
