Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Session 1: Genesis as an Origin Story. The Book of Genesis is the Bible’s origin story, and yet we don’t give this enough focused attention, so we’d like to make this the topic of this session in San Diego. We’ve asked participants to consider the following questions: 1) For whom is Genesis an origin story? 2) How does Genesis as an origin story construct their identity? 3) Why does it matter to them? And, 4) how does your own place in the world and in the academy influence your answer? We have invited four participants from different contexts to address these questions. Each person will have 20-30 minutes to speak, and then we will set aside the last 30 minutes of the session for questions and discussion. Session 2: Genesis and Geography. This is an open session. We invite papers on the geography of Genesis and on topics for which the geography of Genesis plays a significant role. Session 3: Open. We invite papers on any topic in Genesis studies. Session 4: This will be a Joint Session with the Intertextuality in the Hebrew Bible group.
