Psychological Hermeneutics of Biblical Themes and Texts


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Abstracts for papers are now invited for the conference in 2023 with the following theme: "Troubling and / or ignored biblical texts: psychological understanding of problematic emotions". The scope is obviously quite wide in order to gauge which biblical texts turn out as psychologically problematic at present. This could deal with text reception (the psyche IN FRONT OF the text) being that of avoidance, disinterest, boredom, complacency or exhaustion, for instance. At the same time it could also engage with the texts themselves as psychologically problematic (the psyche IN the text): Crucial, however, is that both a clear psychological theory and biblical text should explicitly be stated.
