Rhetoric and Early Christianity


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Rhetorical and the New Testament Section intends to host three sessions. The first session is open to proposals relating to rhetorical interpretation of the New Testament. A second session, entitled "Emerging Movements in Rhetorical Criticism," invites papers from student members of the Society. Brief student presentations (10 minutes) will be followed by responses from senior scholars in the field. In addition to a proposal, student members should submit a paper of 1250-1500 words for this session. A third session, entitled “Rhetorics of Reception,” invites proposals that examine the rhetorical strategies employed by patristic/matristic writers in their interpretation of New Testament texts. In this session, we are particularly interested in papers that explore the rhetorical, artistic and poetic re-formulation and re-use of proto-Christian material.
