Requirements for Participation

Psychology and Biblical Studies


Program Unit Type: Seminar
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The objectives of the Psychology and Biblical Studies Seminar are (i) to provide a forum for developing the future agenda of "psychological criticism" within Biblical Studies; (ii) to assess the significance of these approaches for ongoing Biblical research, exegesis, and interpretation, and (iii) from time to time to to present an historical-critical overview of "psychological" approaches to scripture. As always, we request that reference to the biblical languages be included where relevant. For the Annual Meeting in 2022 we invite papers dealing with exclusion vs. inclusion in the Bible, focusing on EMOTIONS of exclusion, such as shame, guilt feelings, envy, hatred. (This will be the first of 3 years dealing with exclusion vs. inclusion in the Bible, to be followed in 2023 with RELATIONS of exclusion and in 2024 with POLITICS of exclusion.)
