The Art of Taleh is an inclusive and collaborative community, in which ethnically and ecumenically diverse people engage with new and differing ideas on biblical hermeneutics and exegesis. Naturally, we want to hear from you!
Guidelines
We are looking for devotions and/or articles that teach us how to read a Bible passage through a threefold theological, literary and historical lens. In essence, show and exposit for us how you use the Taleh approach in your own study of the Bible, and how your study applies to current conversations and issues. If you’re not familiar with the Taleh approach, please check out our page here and become familiar with it first.
Our typical guest post is between 800-1,200 words in length. It should be an original piece that has not been submitted elsewhere before (including on your own personal blog). The tone should balance both personal and critical reflection. In other words, we find our sweet spot at the intersection of personal storytelling and biblical analysis. Please note: if your piece has been accepted for publication at Taleh, we ask that you do not publish your submission on your own website until after it has been published here.
We cannot pay for guest posts, but we are happy to promote you and your work across our social media platforms.
