Requirements for Participation

Theological Interpretation of Scripture


Program Unit Type: Seminar
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: In 2015 the Theological Interpretation of Scripture seminar will sponsor two open sessions. The first session will be entitled "Theological Interpretation of Daniel in the MT and LXX" (i.e., Daniel and/or the "additions"). The second session will be on "Trinity in/and the Bible." We invite proposals for exegetical, theological, and/or reception-history papers on biblical texts relevant to the topics above. Papers will be 20 to 25 minutes in length. All accepted papers will be read in their entirety at each session. In addition, the Theological Interpretation of Scripture seminar, together with the "Bonhoeffer and Social Analysis" unit of the AAR, will sponsor a session on "Bonhoeffer as Theological Interpreter." We invite paper proposals investigating aspects of Bonhoeffer as a theological interpreter of Christian Scripture. Submissions may explore Bonhoeffer's own exegetical practice and its application in particular cases, examine the role of exegesis in the construction of his own distinctive theological positions, or perhaps consider Bonhoeffer's understanding of Scripture and its consequences for contemporary debates about theological exegesis. All accepted papers will be read in their entirety at the session.
