Call for Papers – Tenth RBS Biennial Conference

Rome, Pontifical Gregorian University

24/26 September 2026

The RBS Association invites contributions for its forthcoming Biennial Conference that relate to its specific field, biblical and Semitic Rhetoric. These may consist of analyses of texts – biblical or others, mainly from the Semitic area – or address some particular methodological and exegetical issue.

In addition to the plenary lectures (55 minutes), there are shorter communications (40 minutes), followed by a discussion. These communications are not reserved for professors and researchers, but are open to students, especially doctoral students as well as licentiate students.

The deadline for submitting proposals is 31 December 2025. Download the proposal form and send it to retoricabiblicasemitica@gmail.com.
