Requirements for Participation

Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: It is widely recognized that during the transmission process of the Hebrew-Aramaic text, both scribes and translators introduced exegetical nuances through the omission, addition, and/or subtraction of elements from their source texts. These maneuvers have given rise to various forms of exegesis, including linguistic, contextual, and/or theological exegesis. For the 2024 SBL Annual Meeting, the TCHB unit welcomes scholars to submit proposals focused on the theme “Exegesis Across Textual Traditions.” The unit will host three sessions: (1) An open-call session where we welcome proposals dealing with the origin and nature of the biblical text. Preference will be given to papers that address exegetical aspects introduced in different textual traditions. (2) A partly open-call and partly invited session that welcomes papers focusing on theological exegesis across textual traditions. (3) A joint, open-call session with the Aramaic Studies unit exploring theological-exegetical elements in Targumic literature. The program unit particularly encourages applications from younger scholars and underrepresented groups. As always, the sole criterion for the acceptance of papers will be their scholarly quality.
