Requirements for Participation

Rhetoric of Religious Antiquity


Program Unit Type: Seminar
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Rhetoric of Religious Antiquity Group plans to hold two sessions. The first, “Writing Socio-Rhetorical Commentary: Is There Anything New Under the Sun?,” is a pre-planned session that will feature the presentation of sections of socio-rhetorical commentary (from work in progress) with invited responses by scholars writing commentary on the same text from another methodological paradigm. The main papers will be distributed prior to the meeting and will be summarized rather than read. The second session will be sponsored jointly with the Rhetoric and New Testament Section, and will focus on “Rhetorical Criticisms and the Speeches of Acts.” The steering committees solicit papers on one of two speeches in Acts (Peter's speech in Acts 2; Paul's speech in Acts 17) written from a clearly defined methodological location within the broader umbrella of rhetorical criticism as a means of fostering dialogue concerning the contributions and limitations of each rhetorical approach.
