Requirements for Participation

Scripture in Early Judaism and Christianity


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The purpose of the Scripture in Early Judaism and Christianity Section is to provide a context in which new scholarship on intertextuality and early biblical interpretation can be presented and critically evaluated. Specifically, the section is devoted to examining how the Hebrew Bible was used and interpreted in the literature of early Judaism (including rabbinic literature) and early Christianity (to ca. 400 CE) and to considering methodological issues associated with this task. The Scripture in Early Judaism and Christianity Section welcomes proposals in 2008 for one session on early Jewish and Christian interpretations of scriptural passages depicting violence and cruelty. Proposals for papers on other topics will also be considered for a more general session.
