Requirements for Participation

Metaphor Theory and the Hebrew Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For the 2024 SBL Annual Meeting, we plan to organize three sessions. The first is a roundtable on “Woman Zion,” co-sponsored with the Biblical Hebrew Poetry and Book of Isaiah groups. While only invited speakers will contribute to this panel discussion, we accept proposals for the second and third sessions. The second session will focus on the reception and development of Hebrew Bible metaphors in intertestamental literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, and in the New Testament. The third session is open to papers covering any aspect of contemporary theories of metaphor that can contribute to the understanding of metaphorical phenomena in the Hebrew Bible. To be considered, abstracts must contain the following elements: scope, main thesis, case study, methodology, and relevance of the proposal.
