Call for papers
Status, Rights, and Duties of the Individual in the Communities of the Biblical World
Conference of the research group “Political Thought in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament and Their Cultural Contexts”
Zurich/hybrid, 9–10 April 2027
Submission Deadline: 31 August 2026
The debate concerns the relationship between the individual and the collective in the diverse social constellations from the Israelite and Judean monarchies to Christianity and Judaism in the imperial period. From a methodological point of view, the topic can be addressed from the perspective of various disciplines and under different questions: Ancient Near Eastern Studies/Ancient History, Legal History, Political Science, Sociology, Biblical Exegesis, Archaeology, and Political Anthropology.
We invite researchers from these or neighboring disciplines to submit proposals with a provisional title and a summary (200 words) before August 31, 2026, to be sent to Joachim Krause (joachim.krause@rub.de), Wolfgang Oswald (wolfgang.oswald@uni-tuebingen.de) or Stefan Krauter (stefan.krauter@uzh.ch). Papers may be given in English or German.
The conference will be held in Zurich, April 9–10, 2027. We will cover travel and accommodation fees for accepted speakers, but please be aware that, for environmental reasons, we are not allowed to cover flight tickets. For those who want to participate from far abroad, there is the possibility to join us on Zoom.
