Political Biblical Criticism


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For 2021 we welcome papers that examine the intersections of the Bible (broadly construed) and pandemics. Topics could include how biblical texts represent pandemics, how in biblical texts have been received historically to theorize pandemic phenomena, or how pandemics have affected the production of knowledge in biblical scholarship. Bearing in mind the shifting political environments we have witnessed globally and in England (e.g., Brexit), we also welcome papers that reflect on how shifting geopolitical relationships impact the production of knowledge in biblical studies, or how political readings of biblical literature might address contemporary global crises.
