Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For 2023 we invite papers for a session on the theme of “The Bible in Music”; papers could focus on any period or style, but we ask presenters to consider the ways in which the music itself contributes to interpretation, rather than simply libretti or lyrics. We will also be co-sponsoring an invited review session to consider the new Oxford Handbook of Feminist Approaches to the Hebrew Bible (ed. Susanne Scholz). Finally, as usual we will have one or two open sessions: proposals are welcome on any aspect of the Bible's reception history. For the open session our preference is for papers that do not focus on the narrower history of scholarship, but explore wider aspects of the Bible's impact on religions, society and culture, art, literature and music.
