“Kings and Power: Exploring Jewish Texts in their Hellenistic
Context”<br>
<br>
The aim of this workshop is to provide the scholars of different
levels (doctoral students, postdocs and senior researchers) with a
forum where to interact beyond disciplinary boundaries. Within the
framework of the title <em>Kings and Power: Exploring Jewish
Texts in their Hellenistic Contexts</em> themes related to
kingship and different political power structures in Jewish and
Greek texts will be analyzed. How do the texts deal with these
themes? How do they draw on earlier material, and how is their
agenda shaped by the impact of Greek thought? In addition to texts
where political matters are present explicitly, the workshop will
examine the core themes in variegated literary and social contexts
such as prophecy, belief, and wisdom thought.<br>
<br>
The keynote speakers are <b>Katell Berthelot</b> (Le Centre
national de la recherche scientifique, Aix-en-Provence, France)
and <b>Joan Taylor</b> (King’s College, London, UK).<br>
<br>
Researchers interested in presenting at this event are invited to
submit a title and abstract (ca. 300 words). The workshop papers
will be ca. 15 minutes presentation followed by 15 minutes of
discussion. Proposals should be submitted no later than <strong>September
12, 2016 </strong>to Elisa Uusimäki via email address: <a
