Requirements for Participation

Apocalyptic Literature


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Apocalyptic Literature Unit invites papers in the following areas: [1.] We welcome paper proposals on all topics related to "Apocalyptic Literature in Early Judaism and/or Early Christianity." Depending on the number and nature of the proposals accepted, we might run two sessions, one or both on more specific topics defined by either text(s) or chronology. [2.] For our second session, we invite paper proposals on the topic of "Religion, Politics, and Apocalyptic Speculation." "Religion and Politics". Their overlap very much informs the production of apocalyptic literature, particularly in view of its functions and social settings and as it informs ideas of group identity and justice. [3.] in the light of current concerns about the global public and personal health, we will hold a joint session with the ISBL program units “Rethinking Biblical Written Tradition through Slavonic Interpretations” and “Hellenistic Judaism,” in which we welcome papers on responses to illness, suffering, and death as recorded in Slavonic, Apocalyptic, and Hellenistic Jewish literature.
