Use, Influence, and Impact of the Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This program unit explores the use and influence of the Bible in a variety of contexts (for example its use/influence in art, film, music, literature, law, politics and ethics). Any papers that explore such interactions either from a theoretical point of view or through specific case studies will be considered. It is planned that a specific focus for one session of the 2009 meeting will be the use and/or influence of 1 John and papers that explore the afterlife of this book are particularly welcome. For a second session papers that examine the use and/or influence of the Bible on the way in which the presidency of Barack Obama is perceived in popular American culture are especially invited.
