I’ll admit: pretty chuffed by this!
The essay that won the award, ‘Playing Favorites: Israel and Judah in the Marriage Metaphor of Jeremiah 3’, is part of my current project investigating the histories and relationship of Israel and Judah. At the moment my attention is focussed on the crucial years either side of the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE.
I’ll be presenting the paper in a panel session at the SBL Annual Meeting in November; stay tuned for details.
