Biblical Characters in Three Traditions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam)
Program Unit Type: Seminar
Accepting Papers? Yes
Call For Papers: *Scriptural Sexuality: Sexual characters in the Three Traditions*
Sexuality can be expressed by, or associated with, a variety of characters: divine, human, animal, vegetal and others.
The seminar will explore the presentation, or mis-presentation, of sexual/ised characters through one, or more, of the three traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Papers are invited that examine expressions of sexuality in various scriptural texts. Such expressions might include, but are not limited to, sexual views; literary and visual portrayals; laws; ritual, medical, or other relevant practices; sexual orientation; gender; non/marital sexual relations; asexuality; or the denial of sexuality. They might be an early feature (e.g., in scripture) or a later development (as part of reception history or legal theory), up to current times.
Articles might use a single or several perspectives, such as theology, art, literature, history, archaeology, law, medicine, or other disciplines.
