Rhetoric and Early Christianity


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The "Rhetoric and the New Testament” section seeks papers for three sessions in 2013: 1) “Rhetorics of Social Relationships and/in Early Christian Discourses,” an open call for a paper session wherein we shall prioritize proposals for critical appraisals of gendered, racial/ethnic, economic, pedagogical, and other discourses concerning social relationships, and their rhetorical deployments, within and across complexes of early Christian materials, as well as in the histories of scholarship thereof; 2) "Imagining a Rhetorical Future: Interventions and Innovations in New Testament Rhetorical Criticism;” 3) "Receptions of Early Christian Rhetoric,” for which we invite proposals examining the rhetorical strategies employed by late-ancient authors in their re-use of New Testament texts. Here, papers that consider re-formulations occurring in discrete manuscript strains are especially welcome (among these, the Nag Hammadi codices, the writings of Shenoute, the Pachomian monastic library, and the corpus of documents attributed to Evagrius).
