Call For Papers: The Mysticism, Esotericism and Gnosticism in Antiquity Section invites historical and comparative papers that help us better understand mysticism, esotericism and gnosticism in the ancient world. In addition to an open session of papers, we will have focused sessions on the topics of shamanism and hermeticism; papers that explore these topics are particularly encouraged. Four sessions are planned for the 2015 Annual Meeting. 1) Open session of papers. 2) Joint session on shamanism with the Religious Experience in Antiquity Group. 3) Joint session on Hermeticism with the Nag Hammadi and Gnosticism Section. 4) Joint session with the Cognitive Linguistics in Biblical Studies Section on the usefulness of cognitive studies for historians; all papers for this fourth session have been invited.
