Requirements for Participation

Social Sciences and the Interpretation of the Hebrew Scriptures


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Social Sciences and Interpretation of Hebrew Scriptures section will be running two sessions during the 2015 Annual Meeting. Our first session is open and we encourage submissions dealing broadly with social-scientific analyses of the Hebrew Bible. For our second session we invite papers on the theme of "the social, economic, or political productivity of protest"--"protest" understood broadly--as found within the Hebrew Scriptures. We encourage papers that use social-scientific theories to reveal new ways of reading the Hebrew Scriptures, whether to expose an "original intent" or to explain a new interpretive strategy for the modern reader. For both sessions, we especially encourage those papers that demonstrate a clear engagement of recent trends in social-scientific theory and that make an attempt at finding a point of dialogue between study of the Hebrew Scripture and study in the social-sciences.
