Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: At the 2023 Pretoria meeting, the Place, Space, and Identity section is running three sessions: (1) With very regard of South Africa, the first will focus on the role of place, space, and land in the Pentateuch texts. How do they affect the conceptual design of the Pentateuch texts either on a synchronic, or diachronic level? What role do connections to the book of Joshua and to the Former Prophets play in this context? (2) The second session is on the theological interplay of questions of sustainability and climate and place, space, and identity as it is reflected in Biblical and non-biblical anciant near eastern texts. (3) The third will be a thematicaly open session.
