Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For the Amsterdam meeting in 2024 we will organize one thematic session and one open session. The thematic session will focus on the Amsterdam school and its contribution to biblical scholarship from its inception to the present. The school is named after a group of Dutch theologians, working at the University of Amsterdam in the 1960s, including M. Beek, Karel Deurloo, and Frans Breukelman. They are known, among others, for their interest in the biblical text as a text and in its stylistic peculiarities. Possible questions to be addressed include but are not limited to the relevance of the school’s interpretive insights and the relationship between current-day stylistic approaches and that of the Amsterdam school. The session will consist of a mix of invited papers and those submitted through a call of papers. The second session will be an open one, inviting contributions in line with the unit’s general interest in how the Bible’s style affects its reading.
