Requirements for Participation

Contextualizing North African Christianity


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This year, we have an open call for three sessions. The first is entitled "Biblical Economics in North Africa," focusing on issues related to poverty, wealth, health, and work in the Christian community. The second is entitled "Reception of the Disciples in North Africa." We seek papers about the ways stories of the Twelve and other disciples were interpreted and used in North African art, sermons, treatises, and other media. We also invite papers for our joint session with the Development of Early Christian Theology section which deal with the development of Christian doctrine and its connection to biblical exegesis and/or the rhetorical and polemical presentation of ideas by North African writers. Themes may include (but are not limited to) Trinitarian, pneumatological, ascetic, or Christological theology.
