CALLS FOR PAPERS Biblia Arabica Consultation, SBL Annual Meeting in Atlanta, November 2015 The Biblia Arabica Project (biblia-arabica/) now has an SBL Consultation. The Units description on the SBL site is : Jews, Christians, and Samaritans living under Muslim rule translated their sacred scriptures into Arabic. Interest in this vast treasure of texts has grown, and their contribution to the history of interpretation and religious history is considerable. This consultation will discuss these translations, as well as how they were influenced by the Quran and used in inter-religious conversations. Here is our CfP for 2015: The Biblia Arabica Consultation invites paper proposals for a joint session with the The Quran and the Biblical Tradition (IQSA) Unit, on the topic: The Bible is at the same time everywhere and nowhere in the Arabic Qur?an (Sidney H. Griffith): Case Studies and Reflections. This session aims at studying the elaboration and treatment of specific biblical themes in the Quran and by its interpreters. Case studies may be on divine revelation, attitudes to class, violence and destruction, attitudes to women, prophets and prophecy, space and time, but do not have to be limited to these. Proposals will reflect explicitly on the theme as articulated by Sidney Griffith, and consider processes of canon formations and renewal on the basis of earlier canons. (Our second session will be an invited Panel). If youre interested in proposing a paper, please enter it on the SBL site (sbl-site.org/meetings/Congresses_ProposeAPaper.aspx?MeetingId=27&VolunteerUnitId=669) and/or contact Athalya Brenner-Idan ([email protected])
