Requirements for Participation

Rethinking Biblical Written Tradition through Slavonic Interpretations


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We are calling for the presentations on all traditions of the Slavonic biblical literature as laid out in the description of our unit. This year we will dedicate a session on the reproduction of biblical texts, i.e., biblical borrowings in florilegia. Generally, we look at the context of biblical citations and interpretations and how they are used in Slavonic texts. Next, we accept all papers on the topics of Slavic religion, Old Slavic language and its scripts. Also, we invite the proposals on art, architecture, music, or film related to the Bible and Slavic cultures. Finally, we plan a session on the Slavonic manuscripts wherein we raised the ethical issues about the fate of museum collections worldwide and have a look on their digitization and accessibility to the wider audience. The comprehension of Slavonic religious literature requires the knowledge of the theology of the authors and copyists. We look forward to the cooperation of the Biblicists, Slavists, and theologians in a diverse environment of South Africa.
