Requirements for Participation

Wisdom and Apocalypticism


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Wisdom and Apocalypticism Section is planning an open session on Wisdom and Apocalypticism in the New Testament. We welcome papers that deal with various topics involving wisdom and apocalyptic themes and motifs in the New Testament, with preference given to papers that focus on the Letter of James. We encourage submissions from advanced doctoral students and early-career scholars. We are also accepting proposals for a joint session with the Hebrews section on Time and Space in Hebrews: Sapiential and Apocalyptic Perspectives. The Epistle to the Hebrews presents a worldview that reflects both wisdom and apocalyptic traditions. The writer portrays the action of Christ in terms of heavenly and earthly realms. Past, present, and future time are brought together in a complex way. The perspective is intriguing, yet difficult to categorize. We invite proposals that open up fresh perspectives on the spatial and temporal dimensions of Hebrews by drawing from wisdom writings and apocalyptic texts. Our third session will be an invited session on concepts of time and history in sapiential and apocalyptic literature.
