Requirements for Participation

Psychological Hermeneutics of Biblical Themes and Texts


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Abstracts for papers are now invited for the conference in 2024 with the following theme: "How personality traits condition one to be more or less of a particular biblical character trait such as sharing, generosity and trusting (of God), or perfectionist, etc. Included is also what function dystopian and utopian images in biblical texts serve for the ego. The scope is obviously quite wide in order to gauge which biblical character traits turn out as psychologically resonant with certain personality traits of the reader. Crucial, however, is that both a clear psychological theory and biblical text should explicitly be stated.
