Book of Isaiah


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Formation of the Book of Isaiah group will offer three sessions for 2015. We invite papers for a session on “The Meaning of the Future in Isaiah.” How does Isaiah develop notions or portraits of the future? How useful are the usual analytic categories for explaining the future in Isaiah (e.g., eschatology, utopia, etc.)? What methodological challenges exist for expressing the book’s understanding of the future? Proposals are welcome that address specific texts in the book, explore methodological and terminological issues, or examine thematic issues related to the idea of the future in Isaiah. Two additional sessions of invited papers are planned on “Isaiah through the Lens of Trauma Theory” and “The Making of the Book of Isaiah: Techniques, Aims and Assumptions."
