Graeco-Roman Society (EABS)

Call For Papers: Christianisation and Religious Change in Asia Minor and Greece Two sessions are scheduled for the meeting in Berlin: an open session where papers on any topic within the range of the interests of the research group are welcome. a thematic session focused on ‘Christianisation and Religious Change in Asia Minor and Greece’. In this session there will be invited speakers from the research project Topoi and of the Inscriptiones Graecae in Berlin, but we also welcome paper proposals.This year we invite papers on the growth and development of early Christianity in Greece and Asia Minor, as well as on other processes of religious change in this region. While the study of major religious changes between the first and the fifth centuries could already draw on a relatively rich literary, archaeological and epigraphic record, new advances are possible now that Christian inscriptions are being made more readily accessible thanks to the recent collection and online publication of the Berlin-based Inscriptiones Christianae Antiquae (ICA). Potential subjects and perspectives include, but are not restricted to: urban and rural religion, funary religious networks, religious interaction, religious entrepeneurs, Christ-groups among other associations, philosophies and cults, the visibility of religious change in material culture and in the physical environment, sanctuaries and church building.
