Requirements for Participation

Deuteronomistic History


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Deuteronomistic History section invites abstracts for papers pertaining to the books of Deuteronomy and the Former Prophets (Joshua–Kings). Papers may treat material in one or more of these books or in the collection as a whole. Relevant foci include literary history and compositional techniques; theological trends exemplified in the texts; the social and historical milieu or milieus in which they were produced; as well as connections among one or more of these books, whether topical, chronological, or linguistic. In addition to one or more open session(s), the Deuteronomistic History section will be organizing two special sessions, both of which will be populated by invited papers: (1) The first, organized by the DtrH section, will explore issues of kinship and state formation, as they emerge from the Deuteronomistic History. (2) The second, organized in cooperation with the Historiography and the Hebrew Bible section, will explore the use of terms such as “core,” “kernel,” “original,” and “older traditions” in diachronic studies of the Bible.
