Biblical Reception 1 (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

This will be the first volume of a new journal, Biblical Reception (BibRec), to be published in November 2012. It is high time, we believe, for the new and burgeoning field of the reception of the Bible to have a publication medium of its own. What the biblical text has meant to its readers down the centuries should be as much the subject of scholarly attention as any 'original' meaning. Our new journal will be a substantial annual volume covering all kinds of use of the Bible - in art, literature, music, film and popular culture, as well as in the history of interpretation. The first volume is now in the press. Papers for the second volume are being solicited. The preferred length is 5000 to 8000 words; the Sheffield Phoenix Press style sheet may be found at www.sheffieldphoenix.com/authors.asp. Submissions should contain, beneath the title, an abstract of c. 250 words, and be sent electronically to [email protected]. Papers will be peer reviewed. Editorial Board Alan Cooper (New York), James Crossley (Sheffield), Andrew Davies (Birmingham), Philip Esler (London), Susanne Gillmayr-Bucher (Aachen), John Harvey (Aberystwyth), Christine Joynes (Oxford), Carol Newsom (Atlanta), Martin O'Kane (Lampeter), Ilana Pardes (Jerusalem), Tina Pippin (Decatur, GA), Adele Reinhartz (Ottawa), John Sawyer (Perugia), Reinhold Zwick (Münster)
