Requirements for Participation

Minoritized Criticism and Biblical Interpretation


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This year we are seeking papers along the theme of minoritized explorations of the Kingdom of God—that is, papers that ask: what are minoritized visions of the basileia tou theou? What are reading practices employed by minoritized, intersectional, decolonial interpreters of this kingdom, particularly as counter to notions of a universalized kingdom of God/heaven constructed by white supremacy (racism, heteronormativity, misogyny, capitalism, etc.)? How does one "unmap" the kingdom of God/heaven across the Hebrew Bible and New Testament as dominant discourses have conceptualized it, and rethink it, as home place, as playground, or something Otherwise?
