Bible and Ethics


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Bible and Ethics Section warmly invites scholars and researchers to submit their contributions for the upcoming conference, where we will delve into two areas of scholarship involving biblical ethics. Firstly, in an "Interdisciplinary Methodologies in Biblical Ethics" track, we encourage submissions that explore the innovative fusion of biblical studies with diverse disciplines such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, and more. By doing so, we seek to illuminate novel dimensions of ethical inquiries embedded within biblical texts, unveiling diverse cultural, historical, and social contexts that enrich our understanding of these teachings. Secondly, in the "The Ethics of Wealth and Poverty in Biblical Texts" section, we invite submissions to examine the Bible's nuanced perspectives on wealth distribution, the moral responsibilities of the affluent, and the treatment of the disadvantaged. These discussions hold profound relevance in contemporary dialogues surrounding economic disparities and social justice. We eagerly anticipate contributions that foster an environment where scholarship thrives and our comprehension of biblical ethics deepens. Join us in shaping the discourse and unraveling the enduring relevance of biblical principles in today's complex world.
