Book of Deuteronomy


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Deuteronomy Program Unit will have three sessions in 2024. (1) An open session on Deuteronomy and Centralization. The committee welcomes papers that explore the concentration of the cult in a single location (Kultzentralisation), including the controverted issue of cult reform (Kultreinigung). Studies of all aspects are welcome, including textual investigations (esp. Deut 12 and the legal core), the role of the concept in the history of scholarship, interactions with Deuteronomy’s concept of centralization in other biblical traditions inside and outside of the Pentateuch, comparative ancient Near Eastern phenomena, and sociological and theological features of the concept. (2) An invited panel on Deuteronomy and Centralization. (3) An open joint session with the Transmission of Traditions in the Second Temple Period Section. Here we welcome papers that explore the transmission of traditions specifically connected to Deuteronomy in Second Temple and Early Judaism(s). We understand transmission broadly, encouraging questions regarding the material, iconographic, theological, textual and/or historical transmission of Deuteronomy.
