Call For Papers: The National Asociation of Professos of Hebrew, 2009 Annual Meeting, is sponsoring five sessions. Session One, Annual Meeting of Officers and Membership.Session Two, Theme:"Tikkun Olam: Responding to Natural Evil from Genesis 6 to Katrina and the Aftermath." The purpose of this session is to make sense of Heaven's wrath against Earthly shore by textual exegesis and hermeneutics.Papers exploring sources from Bible, Rabbinics, and Kabbalah are especially welcomed.Session Three,Theme:"Poetry and Pedagogy." Papers are invited on two topics:linguistic approaches to Hebrew poetry and/or effective methods for teaching Hebrew grammar of poetic texts from the Hebrew Bible. Sessions Four and Five are dedicated to the topic "Diachrony in Biblical Hebrew." The catalyst for these sessions is the publication of Linguistic Dating of Biblical Texts by Ian Young, Robert Rezetko, and Martin Ehrensward (Equinox,January 2009--see Equinox' website). After detailed,critical analyses, the authors conclude that data used heretofore to distinguish earlier from later, pre-exilic from post-exilic, Hebrew are no more than manifestations of synchronic styles available to exilic and post-exiic authors.Papers submitted for consideration should be in dialogue with their data and critical analyses where relevant. Articles on the topic presented at previous NAPH/SBL sessions are published in Hebrew Studies 46 and 47(2005 and 2006).
