Prayer in Antiquity


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Prayer in Antiquity program unit will host three sessions in the 2024 SBL Annual Meeting. The first session will address the relationship between prayer and ancient religious poetry. We welcome proposals relating to poetry and divine-human communication, broadly defined, in biblical, Jewish, Christian, and polytheistic sources in various languages and from various periods. Second, we will hold a partially-invited session on prayer and materiality. Proposals relating to prayer spaces, artifacts, and paraphernalia from various traditions and periods are sought. Third, our final session will be an open session. Proposals to this program unit should identify the texts that will be examined and the kind of methodology that will be used.
