Requirements for Participation

Pentateuch


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Pentateuch Section provides a forum within the SBL for presentation and discussion of research on the Pentateuch, with a particular focus on transmission-historical issues and linkage of that area of inquiry with other more synchronic methodologies. For the 2022 Denver meeting, we will have a particular focus on Theocracy. One invited panel (co-sponsored with the Literature and History of the Persian Period group) devoted to the question of what theocracy is and how it might be applied to literature written prior to Josephus’s coining of the term. A second invited panel will address the nexus between gender, power, and the priesthood. We will host two open sessions in 2022. Paper proposals in all areas of Pentateuchal research are welcome, but proposals that address the subject of Theocracy in the Pentateuch and/or the nexus between gender and power are especially encouraged.
