Research in Hebrew Bible

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is an open issue that invites papers that deal with various research issues in the Hebrew Bible. Since the Hebrew Bible is a complex ancient text that scholars are still struggling to understand, writers are invited to focus on any issue of particular interest in the three distinct parts of the Hebrew Bible. The goal is to open up discussion of any and every aspect of the Hebrew Bible to provide a more broad-based issue that attracts many researchers and participants. The papers submitted should focus on all parts of the Hebrew Bible in its ancient Near Eastern historical context. Papers may address methodological issues or how the Hebrew Bible is formed and shaped by its geographical environment, history, religion, or culture, including the literary environment. Accepted papers may focus on such contextual matters using a variety of methodologies to explore these complex issues. Some papers may wish to investigate the use, reception, or function of the Hebrew Bible in the modern world. Other papers may wish to address the history of interpretation or the relevance of the Hebrew Bible in the twenty-first century. As an open issue, writers are encouraged to be creative and imaginative in their exploration of any research issue, ancient and contemporary, in the Hebrew Bible.
