Hellenistic Judaism


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Hellenistic Judaism Unit is organizing three sessions at the San Diego meeting. Paper proposals are accepted for two sessions. 1) The first is a session dedicated to “Ancient Antisemitism.” At a time when antisemitism is on the rise in many parts of the world, the Hellenistic Judaism section invites proposals on all aspects of antisemitism in the Greco-Roman world including literary animosity against Jews, political actions (such as expulsions from Rome or the anti-Jewish riot in Alexandria in 38 CE), and theological polemics in early Christianity. We are also interested in methodological questions on terminology and in papers on the history of research on ancient antisemitism. 2) The second is an open session: we invite submissions on any topic in the field of Hellenistic Judaism. Paper proposers are asked to indicate for which of the two sessions their papers are intended, i.e. Antisemitism in Antiquity or Open Session. 3) Invited book review panel on a Critical Edition of the Hebrew Manuscripts of Ben Sira: Translation and Philological Notes, ed. J.-S. Frédérique Michèle Rey, Eric D. Reymond (Brill, 2024).
