Political Biblical Criticism

Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: In 2013 the unit seeks to launch two multi-year projects with publications in mind. Both projects have the question of economics and justice at the core: one would address the social-cultural issue of migration, while the other would focus on the tradition of liberation/materialist hermeneutics. First of all, in the contemporary world, the process of migration is present everywhere and in every direction, as a result of fundamental economic and political crises. This project seeks to examine the problematic of migration in broad fashion, from the point of view of the early Christians texts and contexts as well as from the perspective of interpreters/interpretations and their contexts, academic and otherwise. Second, the tradition of liberation hermeneutics now stands at forty. This project seeks to examine the path of this critical tradition in broad fashion, such as re-reading the classic texts, examining the antecedents of materialist criticism, pursuing its global practice, and charting paths for the future. Papers that fit either or both of such foci and that would be interested in subsequent development toward full-fledged studies for publication would be welcome
