Requirements for Participation

Theological Interpretation of Scripture


Program Unit Type: Group
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For 2011, the Group plans to have two sessions.

(1) Reading Revelation as Christian Scripture: We invite papers that seek to engage specific texts or themes in the book of Revelation that bear directly on central aspects of Christian theology and/or practice. Potential participants should note that SBL now requires those without doctoral degrees to submit their paper (2000 to 2500 words) rather than just an abstract.

(2) Theological Interpretation and Jesus-Studies: What is the status of "Jesus studies" in theological interpretation of Scripture? This session will explore the significance of two recent attempts at identifying Jesus: Beverly Roberts Gaventa and Richard B. Hays, eds., Seeking the Identity of Jesus: A Pilgrimage (Eerdmans, 2008); and Darrell L. Bock and Robert L. Webb, eds., Key Events in the Life of the Historical Jesus: A Collaborative Exploration of Context and Coherence (Eerdmans, 2010). Participants for this session have already been recruited.
