Call for Proposals

This Group seeks paper proposals for the election year of 2012, focusing specifically on key sacred texts of various religious traditions related to the construction of a just political order. Effective proposals might discuss a single text and the history of its interpretation in various contexts or a set of texts representing various, perhaps even conflicting, strands or patterns of thought related to politics, justice, and social order. As always, we seek a session with a diverse range of religious traditions and different approaches to the political order well represented.

Mission

This Group integrates the study of scriptural teachings in their social/ethical context within the critical study of present social/ethical contexts. We seek insights from ethical disciplines for self-critical awareness of assumptions that influence scriptural interpretation, and insights from scriptural disciplines for self-critical awareness in ethics.

Anonymity of Review Process

Proposals are anonymous to chairs and steering committee members during review, but visible to chairs prior to final acceptance or rejection.
