Requirements for Participation

Ritual in the Biblical World


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The consultation plans three sessions for the 2009 Annual Congress and welcomes submissions to all three. The first session will be co-chaired with the Sacrifice, Cult, and Atonement consultation, under the title of "Cult Rituals and Meals in the Bible," and seeks to explore the links between cult rituals and meals in the biblical world. The second session is entitled "Ritual and Archaeology: Integrating Texts and Material Culture" and will focus upon the interaction between ritual and material culture as evidenced by archaeologists and textual scholars. We encourage submissions that focus on methodological issues, dealing with the larger issue of text and material culture as well as more specific studies, concentrating on particular finds/texts. Finally, we plan an open session inviting contributions about ritual in the biblical world in general.
