Requirements for Participation

Ritual in the Biblical World


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This year the Ritual in the Biblical World offers two sessions: 1) An open call for papers: We invite papers for an open session on all aspects of ritual activities, with their textual, as well as archaeological and iconographical expressions, in the larger context of their cultural and religious functions in Ancient Israel and Late Antiquity. 2) A joint session with the "Ancient Near Eastern Iconography and the Bible" section (Invited papers) This session will explore the relations between ritual symbolism and the visual arts through the study of artifacts, pictorial content, archeological context and textual interpretations. It will explore the role of ritual in creating symbolism, as well as the relationship between ritual performance and the arts, inquiring whether the “artistic” element in the ritual was reqired for the ritual function.
