Proposals are invited for a volume on Psalms in the Early Modern World.
We seek essays from a wide range of disciplines and interdisciplinary
approaches that examine the uses and effects of Psalms throughout the
early modern world, including (but not limited to):

Please note that the deadline for abstracts (300-500 words) for the
collection Murder and the Other has been changed to June 15 (originally

that full-length essays will be required after I have contacted presses
with possible table of contents, etc.

Thanks,
