Call For Papers: 2014 Annual Meeting The Book of Acts Section is planning two sessions for the 2014 Annual Meeting on the theme "Acts in the Discourses of Politics." This session will examine Acts through the lens of politics in the ancient world from various perspectives, to develop and deepen our understanding of how far the ‘story’ of Acts is embedded in and participates in the ancient political world, widely understood. In particular, this will involve some engagement with recent debates about Acts in relation to empire, and provide a fresh angle on such discussions.Session I will not accept proposals. Session II is an open session and encourages a wide range of proposals that suggest fresh approaches to existing problems or that explore new strategies for reading Acts. Proposals on the theme of politics in the Acts of the Apostles will be particularly welcome.
