Requirements for Participation

Reading, Theory, and the Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Reading, Theory and the Bible offers a home for innovative, experimental work on the Bible and related texts. We welcome work that explores new approaches and pushes the boundaries of scholarship and conventional hermeneutics. We work on the assumption that traditional questions of provenance, philology, and history are amply accommodated by other groups in the SBL. Continental philosophy, critical theory, and other recent theoretical movements are especially welcome, as are papers that take seriously literature and reading as forms of conversation and criticism. We also encourage innovative presentation. For 2022, we are planning two open sessions.
