Requirements for Participation

Hebrews


Program Unit Type: Group
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The “Hebrews Consultation” has been renewed as “Book of Hebrews in Context Group.” The group plans to sponsor each year two, or at most three sessions. The first session customarily contains papers by invited speakers on a specific topic. The papers of this first session—as usual for groups—will be made available to the group’s members in advance and will not be delivered in full at the session. The second session invites proposals either shaped around the same topic or any other topic concerned with the Book of Hebrews and/or its context. About every two to three years a third session will be added, either with book reviews or as joint session. Whereas group members are given priority in attendance and participation at the first session—others may attend and participate as space and time allows—, attendance at the second and third session will be unrestricted. Application for membership in the Hebrew’s group is made through Dr. Gabriella Gelardini to the steering committee and is extended to those who agree to prepare and participate. Individuals interested in becoming members of the Hebrew’s group are invited to contact Dr. Gabriella Gelardini. The specific topics of the following years will be: The socio-historical and cultural content and context of the Book of Hebrews (2008: Greco-Roman; 2009: Jewish). The literary, philosophical, and theological content and context of the Book of Hebrews (2010: Comparative; 2011: Methodological). The reception history of the Book of Hebrews (2012: In ancient, medieval, modern, and postmodern texts and culture; 2013: In modern and postmodern scholarship). For information and membership application contact: Gabriella.Gelardini@unibas.ch. For further information and PDFs of the 2005-2007 papers visit our group’s website: www.hebrews.unibas.ch.
