Asian and Asian-American Hermeneutics


Program Unit Type: Group
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Asian and Asian American Hermeneutics Group of the Society of Biblical Literature is a forum in which biblical and religious scholars can advance and contribute to the study of Asian and Asian American interpretation. The group is part of a growing shift in biblical criticism specifically and hermeneutics generally that focuses on the difference that cultural location makes in reading texts. For the 2008 annual meeting, we are planning an invited panel review of Tat-siong Benny Liew’s What Is Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics? Reading the New Testament and co-sponsoring an invited panel review of They Were All Together in One Place? Toward Minority Biblical Criticism (edited by Randall Bailey, Fernando Segovia and Benny Liew). The Asian and Asian American Hermenuetics Group is also planning an open session and invites papers related to reading the Bible and other sacred texts in, from, as well as to Asian and Asian American contexts and communities. We welcome papers that examine methodological issues involved in interpretation and hermeneutics, as well as papers that offer readings of specific texts and passages.
