Call For Papers: The special topic for 2014 is “Ephesos: Exchange and Religious Conflicts in a Multi-Faith Ancient City.” Ephesos was not only a city where different Christian groups and communities with different traditions were at home but it was a place where several other religious cults and philosophy flourished. Moreover, it was a political (Emperor cult) and economical centre. The focus of our seminar is on religious interchange and its hermeneutics. We welcome papers that deal with texts and/or archeological evidence that shed light on the religious scene of the city of Ephesos in the first Christian centuries. We want to encourage the use of different methodological approaches. Papers dealing with new archaeological research at Ephesos are particularly welcome.
