Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: RWLA invites paper proposals for sessions on the following three topics: (1) Demons and demonology in Late Antiquity. (2) “Christianization” and “Islamicization.” For this session (to be cosponsored with AAR’s Traditions of Eastern Late Antiquity Section), we are particularly interested in proposals that wed focused examination of specific case studies to broader critical reflection on the terminology, categories, and questions at play within these fields of study. (3) Themes explored in Thomas Sizgorich's _Violence and Belief in Late Antiquity: Militant Devotion in Christianity and Islam_ (for a session to be cosponsored with the Qur'an and Late Antiquity program unit of the International Qur’anic Studies Association). We will also cosponsor (with the Social History of Formative Christianity and Judaism Section) an invited session devoted to Robert Gregg’s _Shared Stories, Rival Tellings: Early Encounters of Jews, Christians, and Muslims_.
