Call For Papers: In 2016 the unit has two pre-organized sessions for which the programs are already set: 1) The Ignatian Epistles. The session will explore two significant themes in the study of the writings of Ignatius of Antioch: the impact of his letters on early Christian practices and the reception of the Ignatian letters in the construction of early Christian identity. 2) Rome. The session examines the development of Christian identity and practice in Rome through the integration of literary and archaeological evidence. We are also co-sponsoring a third session with the unit Archaeology of Religion in the Roman World: 3) Archaeology of the City of the Rome. N.B. We are able to accept proposals only for this joint session on Rome (#3).
