Toulouse 2022 Call for Papers
The phenomenon of Yahwistic diversity and its impact upon the formation of the Hebrew Bible continues to attract attention of numerous scholars. Whereas the meeting of the EABS “Yahwistic Diversity and the Hebrew Bible” research unit in Wuppertal 2021 was devoted to the study of this phenomenon in the socio-geographical categories of being “inside the land of Israel” and “outside the land of Israel”, the meeting in Toulouse 2022 will be devoted to the study of the influence of Yahwistic diversity upon the formation of biblical and extrabiblical traditions outside the Pentateuch, especially in the Former Prophets and in the Writings (Ketubim).
The research unit organizes three sessions in Toulouse 2022 and invites papers addressing a) the influence of Yahwistic diversity upon the formation of biblical traditions in the Former Prophets, b) the influence of Yahwistic diversity upon the formation of biblical traditions in the Writings (Ketubim), and c) the influence of Yahwistic diversity upon the formation of biblical and extrabiblical traditions that is more loosely related to the main scholarly interest of the research group. We encourage scholars to adopt various interpretive approaches, based on historical, literary, text-critical, rhetorical, socio-rhetorical, and other models.
