Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Papers are invited for two of three sessions. Session 1 Theme: Sexual Violence in the Bible and Biblical Art / Biblical Art in Atlanta. For an open session on the Bible and visual art, we invite papers of either a general nature or focusing specifically on a particular work or works of art. Preference will be given to papers dealing with sexual violence in the Bible and biblical art and to papers dealing with art works in Atlanta. Session 2 Theme: The Politics of Biblical Art. For a joint session with the Use, Influence and Impact of the Bible Section, we invite papers which engage with the theme of 'the politics of biblical art'. Whereas we are particularly interested in papers addressing the political impact of individual works of art, we encourage submissions which engage creatively with the above theme from any angle. Session 3 Theme: Teaching the Bible and the Arts in the Undergraduate Classroom. This joint session with the Teaching Biblical Studies in an Undergraduate Liberal Arts Context Section will be a panel discussion, with invited panelists, followed by discussion. For this session we are not accepting papers.
