maklelan Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) This will no doubt be of interest to some Latter-day Saints here (I'm looking at you Boylan): Call for Papers “The Other Temples” 25–27 May 2012 Hekhal: The Irish Society for the Study of the Ancient Near East The role of the temple cult is extremely important for Judaism despite Deuteronomic centralisation never being fully realised. As such, other Jewish temples may offer a fruitful area for discussing the development of Judaism in the Ancient Near East. We are therefore calling for papers dealing with temple ideology and its material culture in the context of temples other than the one in Jerusalem, whether those be real ones such as Elephantine, Leontopolis or Gerizim, or conceptual ones like the Qumran Yahad or the new Jerusalem in Revelation. The committee would hope to receive submissions on topics as diverse as diaspora Judaism, early Christianity, Qumran, early Samaritan studies, and any other historiographic and/or archaeological fields of research referencing these paradigms. We invite abstracts of under 500 words to reach us by email no later than 27 January 2012. Late submissions will not be considered. Abstracts for presentation shall be selected by peer review. The committee intends to publish the proceedings within a peer-reviewed and edited volume. Contributors should therefore only submit abstracts for publishable, original work. The presentation of papers at this symposium will be 40 minutes long within a one-hour slot, allowing time for ample discussion after each paper. Cost€60 on the day. €50 if paid before 1 May 2012. Abstracts must be submitted to hekhal.dublinia@gmail.com by January 27th 2012 Edited October 18, 2011 by maklelan 2
