Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Someone has wryly suggested that 2021 did not have an identity, but was colonised by 2020. Last year, the call for papers opened with the observation that the challenges and event of the 2020 may have prompted new insights and encouraged proposals that refined and developed those insights in relation to Ecological Hermeneutics. This year, we issue the same invitation: to consider the trajectory of the Earth community in relation to biblical material using significant themes, such as climate change, mass extinction, food and hunger, and the pandemic. In addition to the open sessions, there will be an invited session on some recent publications, including the Earth Bible Commentary Series (Bloomsbury/T&T Clark). Proposals on any aspect of Ecological Hermeneutics are invited. All proposals are encouraged to engage with the principles of ecological hermeneutics - e.g., suspicion, identification, retrieval (Habel and Trudinger, Exploring Ecological Hermeneutics, SBL 2008) or the methodology of the Exeter project (Horrell, Hunt and Southgate, Greening Paul, Baylor 2010).
