Social Scientific Criticism of the New Testament


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For the 2015 meeting in Atlanta, we will have 3 sessions. The first session will consist of invited papers and a respondent on the theme of physiognomy and the texts and social world of the New Testament. The second will be open and co-sponsored with the Ritual in the Biblical World Section. We invite papers that explicitly employ recognized models, methods or theories of the social sciences to investigate either a ritual text or the social world of the New Testament, in which ritual is seen as a constitutive feature. The third session is also open but proposals that focus upon politics and its relationship to the texts and social world of the New Testament are especially welcome.
