Book of Acts


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Book of Acts Section is planning three sessions for the 2012 Annual Meeting on the theme "Acts and the Jews." Session I is an invited session on the topic "Before the Parting of the Ways: Situating Acts within the Discourses of Second Temple Judaism." The aim of the session is to invite a range of perspectives on Acts from scholars working on second-Temple Jewish literature: Qumran, the Greek-speaking Diaspora, the literary patronage of the Herodian dynasty, biography, martyrology, historiography, the Greek Bible. Session I will not accept proposals. Session II is also an invited session on the topic "Dating Acts to the Second Century: Testing the Hypothesis: Acts and the Jews" and will not accept proposals. Session III is an open session and encourages proposals that suggest solutions to existing problems or that explore new strategies for reading Acts. Proposals on the theme of Acts and the Jews will be particularly welcome.
