Requirements for Participation

Prayer in Antiquity


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Consultation will have one planned Session on “Problems in Defining Prayer.” Papers for this session will be invited. The presentations will explore the difficulty of defining prayer, especially in relationship to religious practices or phenomena that seem to be closely related to prayer, such as incantation, blessing, curse, doxology, hymn, liturgy, tefillin, and sacrifice. In addition, the unit invites papers for an open session, which may address any issue related to the examination of ancient prayer.
