Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For 2021, the Families and Children in the Bible unit will host two sessions. In view of recent global events, one session will be devoted to papers that explore the connections between families and children in the Bible, sickness, disease and disability, and well-being during times of social or communal crisis. Papers that approach the topic from a variety of approaches and perspectives, such as socio-historical, literary, theological are encouraged. In an open session, we invite papers that address families and children in the ANE, the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Testament and early Christian, Rabbinic and Greco-Roman material from a variety of perspectives and using a variety of methods. Proposals that seek to investigate the roles of families and children, and the portrayal of such roles, in relation to the natural environment are particularly welcome. (Papers proposed for 2020 can now be resubmitted)
