Call For Papers: THE JESUS SEMINAR ON THE LEGACY OF RUDOLF BULTMANN Proposals for papers relating to the work and legacy of Rudolf Bultmann should include a tentative paper title and brief description. Proposals accepted by the program steering committee should be submitted by October 1, 2012 for distribution to participants. This seminar is being organized both because of the seminal influence Bultmann's work has had on the Jesus Seminar and because Polebridge Press is planning to publish an English translation of Konrad Hammann's biography of Bultmann prior to the fall meeting. Proposals should be sent to Lane McGaughy . THE WESTAR BIBLE SEMINAR Proposals for papers on any one or a combination of three questions identified by last fall's session on The Once and Future Bible are being sought. The three questions are: (1) Do we need to lend more precision to our terminology--what is the difference between sacred texts, scripture, canon, and Bible? (2) If the Bible gets reconceptualized in the digital age, will Christianity, broadly speaking, get reconceptualized too? (3) In what ways has print technology informed and delimited the modern understanding of the Bible? Papers accepted by the steering committee should be submitted by October 1, 2012 for distribution to participants. Send proposals to Stephen Patterson .
