The Society of Biblical Literature, in
partnership with the Centro de Estudios de Historia del Antiguo Oriente, Universidad
Católica Argentina (CEHAO/UCA), announces the establishment of a new online, open-access
monograph series. The focus of the series will be on the ancient Near East, including
ancient Israel and its literature, from the early Neolithic to the early
Hellenistic eras. Proposals and manuscripts may be submitted in either Spanish
or English. Manuscripts are subject to blind peer review by two members of the
series’ editorial board before acceptance. Published volumes will be held to
the high scholarly standards of SBL and CEHAO/UCA.
A prestigious international group of scholars has agreed to serve on the editorial board:
Co-General Editors
Ehud Ben Zvi, University of Alberta
Roxana Flammini, Universidad Católica
Argentina
Editorial Board
Marcelo Campagno, Universidad de Buenos Aires, CONICET
Michael Floyd, Centro de Estudios Teologico, Santo
Domingo, Dominica Republic
José Galan, Director of the Spanish-Egyptian Mission at
Dra Abu el-Naga, Luxor (Egypt)

Theological Library Association (ATLA)

The partnership between SBL and CEHAO/UCA was
initiated under the auspices of SBL’s International Cooperation Initiative (ICI)
and represents the type of international scholarly exchange that is the goal of
ICI. Scholars from anywhere in the world are invited to submit proposals, and
the online nature of the series will provide global access to the published
scholarship.
What a great cast of editors! Seven out of eleven
scholars are well-known to me. I have profited from their scholarship. I look
forward to learning from all of them, and others they will involve.
