Requirements for Participation

Contextual Biblical Interpretation


Program Unit Type: Group
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: In line with the goal of this group and of its book series of Contextual Bible Studies (Fortress Press), we seek papers on *contextual* biblical interpretations; i.e., readings of the Bible that take the reader’s context into account in some way. Particularly (but not exclusively) we are interested in contextual readings of the books of the Pentateuch/Torah; the gospels. These papers need to make explicit their "contextual" strategies (including inculturation, inter(con)textualization, and reading with “ordinary” readers) and methodologies. For general format see http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AnS/religious_studies/GBC/outline_comm.html
