Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Warfare in Ancient Israel Section fosters the interdisciplinary study of war and its representations in the Hebrew Bible and ancient Near East and is sponsoring an open session and a select panel at the 2015 Annual Meeting: (1) For the open session, the steering committee invites papers treating any aspect of warfare and violence in ancient Israelite and Judean societies and texts from preexilic through postexilic periods, especially papers on the effects of warfare and violence upon combatants or aggressors, whether as individuals or groups. Presentations will be limited to twenty minutes followed by ten minutes of open discussion. (2) The panel session,“Warfare in Early Israel: The State of the Question,” will examine what can be known or said about warfare, warriors, and violence in emerging Israelite society, and will engage Mark Smith’s book, Poetic Heroes: Literary Commemorations of Warriors and Warrior Culture in the Early Biblical World. Fifteen minute presentations by invited panelist will introduce the discussion in this closed session. For additional information, contact Tracy Lemos (tlemos@uwo.ca) or Frank Ritchel Ames (fames@mac.com).
