Early Christianity and the Ancient Economy

Call For Papers: The Early Christianity and Ancient Economy unit sponsors three sub-projects. The first is "The Ancient Economy," with particular attention given to the economies of Classical Greece, the Hellenistic World, and the Roman Empire (including the Roman Near East). The second is “First-Century Early Christianity and the Economy,” and the third is “Christianity and the Economy in the Second to Fifth Centuries.” Both the second and the third sub-projects give attention to the relationship of early Christianity to the ancient economy and to Christianity’s own economic aspects. Given the scope of the project, we anticipate that studies will be both synchronic and diachronic, with some contributions focused on specific issues (such as money), texts, authors, and events, and others being more comprehensive and thematic in nature. Each of the three sub-projects plans to hold at least one session at the 2009 meeting in Rome, and paper proposals for all three sub-projects are welcomed. Papers dealing with aspects of the economy of the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire, the City of Rome, and Italy are especially encouraged. Those submitting a proposal should designate in the Abstract the sub-project for which the paper should be considered.
