Requirements for Participation

Comparative Method in Biblical Studies


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For our second year, we will host three types of sessions: 1) An open session that welcomes proposals from across fields and subfields that deal overtly with comparative method and that may or may not use illustrative case studies. Interdisciplinary work is encouraged. 2) In partnership with the Israelite Prophetic Literature program unit, we invite proposals that address the question “What comparative methods or approaches can help us understand the performative aspects of the aurality of prophetic texts, be they ancient Near Eastern, sacred, or popular-cultural expressions?” This session will also include invited papers. 3) In partnership with the Mind, Society, and Religion: Cognitive Science Approaches to the Biblical World program unit, we invite proposals that address the theme “Comparative Approaches to Moral Infringement.” We invite papers that take a comparative approach on how different groups and texts address interpersonal infringement in thought, practice, and ritual. For more information, see the CFP from Mind, Society, and Religion below. This session will also include invited papers.
