Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: At the 2024 meeting the following sessions are planned: 1) A joint session co-sponsored with the Biblical Law section on the topic "Echoes of Torah in Samuel". Topics may include (but are not limited to) common law in the book of Samuel, allusions to the Torah in Samuel, legal concepts as reflected in Samuel compared to their reflection elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible, and developments in biblical law as reflected in Samuel's recensional history. 2) At least one open session on any aspect of the Book of Samuel. For these open sessions we welcome proposals on any aspect of the book of Samuel, especially papers which explore different methodologies in interpretation, the dialogue between synchronic and diachronic approaches, and theological concerns.
