Requirements for Participation

Texts and Traditions in the Second Century


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The consultation “Texts and Traditions in the Second Century” seeks to create space, in the context of the SBL, for the detailed discussion of the texts, people, and traditions of a pivotal period of early Christianity during which a number of canons and identities were conflicting and coalescing. This year the consultation will include two sessions, both of which will feature a mixture of invited and open call papers. The first session is entitled “Paul and the Second Century”, and the consultation welcomes submissions of any paper on this subject, broadly conceived. The second session is entitled “Texts and People in the Second Century”. As the name suggests, this is an open session which encourages proposals on any second century text or person which might illuminate the development of Christianity in this formative period. The consultation aims to foster original and interdisciplinary research on second-century Christianity. Accordingly, special consideration will be given to submissions that focus on new approaches or underexplored subjects. Potential contributors are encouraged to contact the session organizers with any questions. Christopher M. Hays: cmhays@gmail.com Michael Bird: m.bird@ridley.edu.au
