Requirements for Participation

Return Migration in Biblical Literature


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: In 2024, our unit is seeking papers that deal with the concept of "return" without returning. In other words, what might such an idea look like in biblical and extra-biblical literature. For example, would it be a spiritual or "in-spirit" return without leaving. Migrant communities remained (and flourished) even when the chance or opportunity to return was offered. Papers from HB, NT, and other works are encouraged.
