Cognitive Science Approaches to the Biblical World


Program Unit Type: Seminar
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This year we will host two sessions: (1) An open call for “comparative approaches to moral infringement”: How does comparison help us understand the ways that groups or texts address wrongs committed between persons (e.g., punishment, revenge, compensation, forgiveness, penance, cursing, prayers, expulsion, etc.)? Presenters are encouraged to use cross-disciplinary insights to formulate relevant points of comparison and insights into comparative method. Both comparisons between ancient groups and texts and comparisons between ancient and contemporary examples are invited. The session is co-sponsored with the Comparative Method in Biblical Studies Unit. (2) An invited panel to review Daniel O. McClellan, YHWH’s Divine Images: A Cognitive Approach (Ancient Near East Monographs. SBL Press, 2022). The open-access book is available @ https://www.sbl-site.org/assets/pdfs/pubs/9781628374407.pdf
