Requirements for Participation

Historiography and the Hebrew Bible


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Historiography and the Hebrew Bible program unit invites paper proposals that examine specific historical questions or topics that pertain to the texts of the Hebrew Bible. Papers that engage contemporary debates surrounding the theories and methods of history writing are particularly welcome. In addition to one or more open session(s), we will be cohosting a special session on "Pentateuch and Pedagogy" with the Pentateuch program unit. This session will feature invited papers that reflect on the historical and historiographic challenges of teaching Pentateuch. We will also co-host a session of invited papers with the Hebrew Bible, History, and Archaeology unit on Omer Sergi's 2023 book, "The Two Houses of Israel: State Formation in Israel and Judah and the Origins of Pan-Israelite Identity" (SBL). The goal of this book panel will be to use Sergi's book as a point of departure for a provocative and stimulating discussion of present research and future directions in the fields of Bible and Archaeology, especially in relation to historiographic practices.
