Nonbiblical Dead Sea Scrolls: Themes and Perspectives


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This new unit focuses on themes and issues related primarily to the nonbiblical Dead Sea Scrolls. While we issue an open call for papers dealing with the nonbiblical Scrolls, we especially invite papers for one or more sessions on themes and perspectives connected to the Thanksgiving Hymns (Hodayot). One such session will be on the theme of "Flesh and Spirit in the Thanksgiving Hymns (Hodayot)." Under this theme, papers may be broadly defined to explore issues of the (Holy) Spirit in the Hodayot or the ways in which these texts illuminate the interaction between flesh and spirit(s) in the individual worshipper(s). Other papers may for example consider the nature of the body and embodied prayer in these Hymns in light of the theological understanding of self and S/spirit as found in other literature, or the Hodayot and conceptions of temple and cult.
