Call for Papers
We invite paper proposals that use any methodology that develops thick descriptions of first-century Weltbilder as the conceptual contexts within which New Testament cosmological terms and themes make sense. We particularly encourage proposals that interact with various fields and their methodologies, including Hebrew Bible, ancient Near Eastern cosmologies, philology, philosophy, archaeology, and historical theology. While various methodologies may be appropriate for different papers within the research workshop, each methodology should be brought to bear on the interpretation of a text or texts within the New Testament.
