The aim of this panel is to investigate the application of the notion of 'paradigm shift' to religious texts and contexts, and their interpretation, in Biblical and Second Temple Judaism studies. We shall consider questions such as: have there been 'paradigm shifts' in Biblical and Second Temple scholarship? Is the language of 'paradigm shift' fitting to the study of the Bible and Second Temple Judaism? Is the notion of 'paradigm shift' better suited to describe epochal moments of change in Jewish and Christian biblical past, or should it preferably be used to indicate topical interpretative shifts in scholarship?
The proponents of this panel welcome papers on historical, literary, archaeological and hermeneutic topics that have shifted our understanding of the Bible and Second Temple Judaism. Special emphasis will be given to studies that promise to challenge readings that are perceived as 'traditional' or 'canonical' in contemporary scholarship. Although the panel is open to all interested scholars, members of the Associazione Biblica Italiana are particularly encouraged to submit their work.
