Feminist Hermeneutics of the Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Feminist Hermeneutics of the Bible (FHB) section will offer the following three sessions at the 2022 meeting. Open Call Session #1: FHB issues an open call for papers using feminist, womanist, Latina/x, or other cognate ideological frames to read biblical texts, broadly defined. We especially welcome emerging scholars to submit proposals. Session #2: FHB and the LGBTI/Queer Hermeneutics unit will present an invited book review panel on Jimmy Hoke's new book: Feminism, Queerness, Affect, and Romans: Under God? Session #3: This panel – co-sponsored by the Biblical Literature and the Hermeneutics of Trauma unit, The Paul & Politics unit, and The Feminist Hermeneutics of the Bible unit – invites proposals addressing the traumatic impact of white supremacy as built within biblical scholarship. Proposals may engage questions of 1) critical race theory, 2) feminist theory that analyzes the ramifications of white supremacy on gendered readings of texts 3) racial trauma perpetuated by the biblical texts or their reception history, and/or 4) politics in any aspect of the contemporary study of Pauline scholarship, the Pauline legacy, and/or contemporary communities using these texts. Proposals may also construct scholarship beyond whiteness as a center (i.e., conversations in Afropessimism or Afrofuturism). Successful proposals will outline biblical texts and critical theorists employed in their interpretations.
