A revised and extended call for papers from the Journal of Interdisciplinary Biblical Studies<\/a> appears below. Please consider submitting something, but please also help spread the word by circulating this announcement<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The call for papers on the Bible and Science Fiction is re-opened with a broader call, now the Bible and Speculative Fiction. We are looking for articles dealing with the interactions of biblical and related non-biblical texts with literary, television, film and other cultural artefacts (video games; cartoons; graphic novels; etc) exploring themes of speculative fiction, science fiction, Afrofuturism, Indigenous futurisms, horror, and\/or fantasy etc beyond the classic \u2018canon\u2019 of sci-fi, including anime like\u00a0Neon Genesis Evangelion<\/span>, for example. We are particularly interested in submissions that approach issues of identity, community formation, canon and canonicity, race, (de)colonization and exploration, creation, destruction, stewardship, disability, gender\/sexuality and\/or any other relevant focus. Papers that focus on the works of Octavia Butler, N K Jemisin,\u00a0Samuel\u00a0Delany, Claire Coleman, Stephen Graham Jones, Louise Erdrich, Daniel H Wilson, or Cherie Dimaline are especially welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please see\u00a0 Submission Guidelines<\/a>\u00a0for more information. Potential contributors are invited to contact the editors in chief about ideas in advance. Completed papers will be accepted for review any time before 1 October 2020.<\/p>\n

NB: The original call last year brought many excellent submissions; however as editors we have decided to postpone the issue to allow for more minoritized scholars to participate. Postponing is not a matter of optics but one of quality and about including the range of perspectives and methodologies we are trying to foster at JIBS.<\/p>\n
