Requirements for Participation

North American Association for the Study of Religion


Program Unit Type: Affiliate
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: NAASR is looking for papers that approach the texts associated with Christian Origins from the perspective of the study of ancient religions. That is, if we set aside the idiosyncratic and too-often theologically-derived analytic categories and methods associated with “higher criticism” of the “New Testament,” can we productively approach the texts and gain some critical leverage on their historical and ideological genesis? Or must these texts always be approached in their own terms, with eccentric methods, and as uniquely Christian and distinct from the currents and trends of the culture of which they were a part?
