Papyrology and Early Christian Backgrounds


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For 2015 the Papyrology and Early Christian Backgrounds Group is sponsoring four sessions: three open sessions and one panel session with invited papers. For two of the open sessions we invite proposals that seek to explore how the ancient papyri illumine the world of early Christianity and will elucidate paleographic, linguistic, and textual questions, as well as larger questions relating to the social and cultural history of early Christianity. For the third open session, which is jointly sponsored with the Christian Apocrypha Section, we invite papers that specifically deal with Christian apocryphal fragments preserved on papyrus (and related materials). The fourth session is an invited panel on digital resources and Papyrology, and is jointly sponsored by The Digital Humanities in Biblical, Early Jewish, and Christian Studies consultation.
