Gospel of Mark

Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Gospel of Mark program unit plans for three sessions for 2024. The first session extends an open call for papers focused specifically on interpretations of Mark 1:16-45 as a textual unit, which continues a multi-year series working through Mark from beginning to end, with a view to fostering conversation about the textual, historical, hermeneutical, and theological aspects of the Gospel in larger-scale perspective. The second session extends an open call for papers examining the topic “Mark within Judaism.” Papers should interrogate Mark’s relationship to various elements of early Jewish culture, such as contemporary halakhic debates, scriptural interpretation, ritual purity, dietary practices, priesthood, temple, land, etc., as well as those that address methodological issues about what it means to read Mark “within Judaism.” The third session extends an open call for papers on any topic or text advancing scholarship on the Gospel of Mark. Proposals for all three sessions should show a clearly defined thesis, methodology and argument.
