Prophetic Texts and Their Ancient Contexts


Program Unit Type: Seminar
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: In 2021 and 2022, Prophetic Texts in their Ancient Contexts is hosting a section with the Assyriology and the Bible Program Unit on “Hope”: hope as an emotion, as world view, cultic or political action, or documentary/textual or visual expression. We welcome proposals from a variety of perspectives and materials (prophetic literature, mantic literature more broadly, material culture, iconography, ritual phenomenology). Proposals should concern the intersection of biblical texts/world and ancient Mesopotamia. Other and later ancient contexts will also be considered. Proposals should be submitted to the Assyriology and the Bible Program Unit.
