Requirements for Participation

Qumran


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Qumran Section has three goals. (1) It provides a forum for scholarly discussion of any aspect of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the material culture of Qumran, and the history, literature, and worldviews of the people associated with them. (2) It encourages new discussions and approaches in the field of Dead Sea Scrolls studies. (3) It strives for integrating the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls with other fields of biblical and related studies. In 2018 the Section will host one invited session on topics related to Authority and Leadership in the Dead Sea Scrolls, broadly conceived. Invited papers will be devoted to Leadership in the Dead Sea Scrolls; Priestly Authority; Sapiential Authority; and Social Scientific Perspectives on Authority and Leadership in the Scrolls. We will also co-sponsor an invited session with the Biblical Lexicography section, dealing with the intersection of the lexicographical study of Biblical Hebrew with Qumran Hebrew. In addition, we welcome proposals for two additional open call sessions on any topic related to the Dead Sea Scrolls, including those relevant to the invited sessions. We commit ourselves to balance senior and junior voices. In order to maximize opportunities for presenters, scholars should not present more than two years in succession. This restriction does not apply to invited papers.
