Requirements for Participation

Construction of Christian Identities


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This year our Section will have three sub-themes and will be organized in four sessions, two "by invitation only" and two open. The two "by invitation only" will have the structure of a panel discussion. These are the sessions we have planned: A) "The Birth of Christianity: Ideas, Models, Proposals" - Two sessions: one panel session (invitation only) and one open session; [These sessions want to give space to new attempts of interpreting the birth of Christianity (when, where, how, why Christianity was born?) as well as to discuss recent explanations.] B) "Jews Worshiping Jesus: The Study Case of Ephesus" - One panel session discussing newly published works (invitation only); C) "Forms of Contact with the Supernatural in the Construction of Christianity" (visions, revelations, ecstasies, dreams, heavenly journeys…)- One open session; [One of the most impressing elements of Early Christianity was a series of practices of contact with the supernatural. This session wants to analyze the function of these practices in the construction of the new religion.]. Please, feel free to send any proposal for papers, the content of which corresponds to the specific subject of the open sessions and to the lines established in the General Description of the Section.
