Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: In 2014, we plan three sessions. One session about Urban Spaces will be co-sponsored with the AAR Space, Place, and Religious Meaning Group. It features an open call for papers that consider recent or new directions in the study of space and place for the study of religion, particularly in urban settings. A second session, entitled “Thinking through Place: The Spatiality of the Household” will be jointly organized with the SBL program unit Rhetoric of Religious Antiquity. It invites papers that explore how places formed rhetoric and concepts in the ancient context of scripture. Papers should be informed by spatial theory and/or ancient rhetorics and demonstrate how such theories help to interpret the biblical texts. The third session is a book review session with invited panelists, co-sponsored with the SBL program unit Religious World of Late Antiquity, which will consider recent work on religion, power, and urban space in late antiquity.
