Requirements for Participation

Israelite Prophetic Literature


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Israelite Prophetic Literature section will sponsor four sessions in 2022 and now accepts proposals: (1) In this joint session between the ‘Nature Imagery and Conceptions of Nature in the Bible’ and the ‘Israelite Prophetic Literature’ units, WE ARE ACCEPTING PROPOSALS: we invite papers that examine the use of nature imagery in prophetic texts in the Hebrew Bible (Isaiah – Malachi) or in ancient Near Eastern prophecy. Nature images can draw on a wide range of topics including fauna, flora, landscape characteristics, climate systems, and water sources. This year, preference will be given to proposals related to landscape characteristics and water sources. (2) In this joint session between the ‘Comparative Method in Biblical Studies’ and the ‘Israelite Prophetic Literature’ units, WE ARE ACCEPTING PROPOSALS: While the received classical prophets’ words are now written, the reality is that these texts have had and still have a major aural component. 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)? (3) In a joint session with the ‘Intertextuality and the Hebrew Bible’ unit, we will sponsor a session of invited papers. This session will be a roundtable discussion of contributors to a forthcoming Festschrift for Marvin A. Sweeney (Mohr Siebeck). (4) “OPEN” session: WE ARE ACCEPTING PROPOSALS with papers on a broad range of topics dealing with prophetic literature. Papers that fall within the scope of this year’s themes in our joint-sessions may also be presented here.
