Call For Papers: The Christian Apocrypha section will be exploring (A) Apocrypha and Art, and (B and C) offering two joint sessions in collaboration with the Jewish Christianity and Syriac Apocryphal sections. --------- (A) Apocryphal Literature and Art -------- In an open session, we are inviting presentations highlighting the relevance of Art for understanding early Christian Apocryphal traditions. We are particularly interested in interpretative aspects of scenes, primary figures, and symbolic representations concerning these apocryphal narratives. ---------- (B) Jewish Christian Gospels ------ A new edition of the classic German "Hennecke-Schneemelcher" collection is scheduled to appear in 2010. In a joint session together with the “Jewish Christianity/Christian Judaism” section, we will be offering a discussion of this new collection, specifically highlighting Jewish Christian Gospels, and including responses from other scholars to some of the latest research in this new edition. -------- (C) Syriac Apocryphal Texts -------- In an open session offered jointly with “Syriac Literature and Interpretations of Sacred Texts,” we will be investigating the intersection of Apocryphal texts and Syriac traditions. This session will provide an open forum for the presentation and discussion of interpretations of these texts . The Christian Apocrypha section encourages submissions to the Seminar Papers.
