Call For Papers: Women voices in the Deuterocanonical Literature – For the 2024 Annual Meeting, the DCL program unit will focus the topic of women and women’s voices in the Deuterocanonical literature. There will be a joint session of the Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature and the Pseudepigrapha program units on the same topic in the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical books and the Pseudepigrapha. We will approach this topic from multiple perspectives, including historical research on women in the ancient Mediterranean world and methods of research on the Deuterocanonical and Pseudepigraphic literature. Questions to consider might include: How are women perceived in this literature? What voices do they have, as characters or as possible authors? Can narrator biases be detected, and if so, which ones? What is the impact of previous research on perceptions of women in this literature? Papers on other topics are also welcome.
