Ancient Near Eastern Iconography and the Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Ancient Near Eastern Iconography and the Bible Program Unit will receive proposals for an open session and two joint sessions for this year's meeting. For the open session, as in previous years, we welcome paper proposals within the broad interdisciplinary framework of iconography and biblical studies. We are pleased to collaborate with the Book of Ezekiel Program Unit in sponsoring a joint session focused on the theme of “Imagery and Imagistic Language in the Book of Ezekiel.” For this session, we particularly encourage proposals that consider the relationship between the text of Ezekiel and the iconographic and imagistic contexts from which it emerged. The Ancient Near Eastern Iconography and the Bible, the Biblical Lexicography, and the Nature Imagery and Conceptions of Nature in the Bible Program Units are also pleased to announce another year of collaboration. We are planning a joint session on the theme of “Identification of Flora and Fauna in the Bible.” We encourage proposals for papers that engage methodological considerations on textual, iconographical, archeological and/or biological materials in establishing the varieties of plants, animals, and other aspects of nature that appear in the Bible.
